Who We Are
SEEDS was created to encourage partnerships with industry and other
stakeholders and to increase the competitiveness of OARDC/CFAES scientists
in extramural grant programs. While these objectives remain the programs
cornerstone, SEEDS has grown to include a total of seven objectives:
Increase the competitiveness of scientists in extramural grant programs.
Encourage partnerships with industry and other stakeholders.
Encourage the development of interdisciplinary teams.
Encourage international collaborations.
Support the exploration of enterprises that are potentially new to Ohio.
Provide undergraduate students with research experience.
Provide graduate students with the opportunity to take part in the
grant-writing proposal review process.
By providing seed money to develop the necessary preliminary data for a
strong grant application or by matching funds to leverage external funding,
SEEDS has proved to be a valuable program for scientists in the College of
Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. The SEEDS program looks
forward to continued success and new partnerships with industry and other
collaborators in Ohio and the world within the context of our global
society.
Oversight for the competition is provided by the OARDC Research Committee
which has representation from industry and faculty who serve a three year
term.
