Each project MUST contain research as well as education and/or technical assistance components. Joint projects among CALS researchers, CCE educators, and other private/public sector collaborators in the region are very strongly encouraged. Projects should include one or more research sites in the six-county NNY region.

** **Research and demonstration sites can include Miner Institute, the Willsboro Research Farm, other agriculture research farm facilities, and/or other operating farms across the NNY region. The latter are strongly encouraged wherever possible for research and/or demonstration. The outreach component MUST be designed to reach all six NNY counties.

Any events, webinars, presentations, etc. associated with outreach for the project must include acknowledgement of the support of the NNYADP. The NNYADP logo will be made available for use. Extensive budget detail is not required, but a breakdown in broad categories must be provided .

See proposal template for accepted budget categories. For projects involving CALS/CCE, budgets should clearly reflect funds to cover expenses incurred by CCE Associations as a result of their participation in the research and/or extension component of the project. Commitments from CCE educators as well as agreement on funding to support their work must be obtained prior to submission of the proposal.

Similar attention should be given to detailing the proposed expenses of all collaborators. Requests for funds associated with personnel will need clear and compelling justification. Only that portion of personnel time allocated strictly to the NNYADP project will be considered for support.

Travel funds to support work in NNY are eligible. Funds for travel to areas outside NNY will not be awarded without very strong justification.
