Cooperative Agreement

Overview

Grant Description
The 2023 host institution renewal facilitates continued efforts to provide new technologies and principles to amplify climate resiliency through the various Western SARE funding programs.

Attention to goals described in this POW will bolster most of the priorities of the 2023-2026 USDA Science and Research Strategy for cultivating scientific innovation effort specifically driving climate-smart solutions (Priority 2), bolstering nutrition security & health (Priority 3) and translating research into action (Priority 5).

The first steps in contributing to the USDA priorities are to rewrite the various CFPs to broaden the scope of submitted proposals, leverage the cultural, production and scientific diversity of the Administrative Council, finalize the regional strategic plan and hire an underrepresented outreach coordinator for the Western region by March 2025.

In FY 2024 the Administrative Council (AC) will vote on a slate of nominees to achieve geographical and ethnic diversity.

In a parallel action the Administrative Council subcommittee has received feedback from the AC and will update the strategic plan draft for review during the summer 2024 meeting.

These updates will populate a culturally, technically, and ecologically diverse technical review panel to identify proposals with defined climate adaptation outcomes (USDA Priority 2).

The approved strategic plan coupled with the expanded network of educators generated through the second BPASS conference will sketch out a roadmap to reach more underrepresented localities and individuals (USDA Priority 5) and generate guidelines for the region's participation in the upcoming food loss and waste initiative (USDA Priority 3) in the region.
