After the jump is a list of new funding opportunities from the Research Development Office. From now on, I will not edit this list to single out opportunities that seem best suited to our faculty. While some of these opportunities are clearly outside the realm of most of our expertise, that decision is best left to faculty members to decide, particularly since these are often interdisciplinary programs. If you have any questions, please contact the college research office.

The Statistical Consulting Seminar (ST 841) provides statistical advice and help to NC State researchers from the planning, stage, through selecting the experimental or sampling design, to running statistical analyses and interpreting statistical results. Students in the class are interested in gaining hands-on experience in statistical consulting and very eager to collaborate with NC State researchers.

Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research: Accelerating Advances in Animal Welfare

The objective of this RFA is to stimulate and support innovative research in farm-animal welfare. Research is critical to progress in this field, as changes to animal production practices may impact animal physiology, may require large-scale alterations in animal housing and may have environmental and economic impacts that extend beyond the farm or production facility. FFAR expects the Animal Welfare program to support cross-disciplinary research in animal genetics, behavior, husbandry, physiology, biotechnology, nutrition and other scientific areas.

Internal due date:  Contact limited-submission@ncsu.edu by 4:00 on Friday 7/7
Agency due date: August 2, 2017
