Presentation Transcript

  1. Dr. Anna Palmisano Deputy Administrator- Competitive Programs Unit Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service

  2. FY2007: NRI Program Clusters • Agricultural Biosecurity and Agricultural Genomics • Agricultural Production and Value-Added Processing • Nutrition, Food Safety and Quality • Agro-ecosystems

  3. Agricultural Genomics and Biosecurity Plant Biosecurity Animal Protection and Biosecurity Arthropod and Nematode Biology and Management Microbial Genomics Microbial Biology Plant Genome Animal Genome NRI Funded Researchers at U. of Maryland Fight the Spread of Avian Flu

  4. Agricultural Production and Value-Added Processing Animal Growth and Nutrition Animal Reproduction Plant Biology Nanotechnology for Food and Agriculture Biobased Products and Bioenergy Ag Markets and Trade Improving fertility in livestock through research on sperm proteins

  5. Nutrition, Food Safety and Quality Food Safety Epidemiology of Food Safety Human Nutrition and Obesity Bioactive Food Components Improving Food Quality and Value Protecting Against Food-borne Pathogens

  6. Agroecosystems Soil Processes Water and Watersheds Managed Ecosystems Air Quality Weedy/Invasive Species Rural Development Rural Prosperity for Small-Mid sized Farms Stemming the growth of invasive thistles

  7. NRI Priority Setting • Mission Relevance • Potential impact • Scientific opportunity and Enabling Technologies • Linkages to other programs/Minimizing overlap • Stakeholder input: Developing a shared vision for long term goals

  8. 1. Mission Relevance “To advance knowledge for agriculture, the environment, human health and well being, and communities. ”

  9. Relevance to USDA Strategic Goals • Enhance international competitiveness of American agriculture • Enhance competitiveness and stability fo rural and farm economics • Increase economic opportunities and improved quality of life in rural America • Enhance protection and safety of the Nation’s agriculture and food supply • Improve the Nation’s nutrition and health • Protect and enhance the Nation’s natural resources and environment

  10. 2. Potential Impact • What is the potential impact on: • Science • Agriculture • Economy • Society as a whole?

  11. 3. Scientific Opportunity and Enabling Technologies • Does the program priority: • Take advantage of scientific breakthroughs • Take advantage of new, enabling technologies • Identify where a modest investment could result in a significant advance?

  12. 4. Linkages to other programs/Minimizing overlap • Internal coordination: NRI NPLs work in CSREES-wide planning teams • External Coordination: NPLs actively participate in interagency working groups under the President’s National Science and Technology Council

  13. Examples of CSREES Interagency Collaborations to Leverage Funding • Microbial Genome Sequencing Program (NSF) • Maize Genome Program (NSF, DOE) • Microbial Observatories (NSF) • Plant Feedstock Genomics for Bioenergy (DOE) • Metabolic Engineering (NSF, NIH, NASA, DOE, etc.) • Climate Change Science Plan (DOE, NASA, NSF, EPA, others) • And more….

  14. Leveraging with other Agencies: FY2003-2006 Between FY2003-2006, NRI turned $47M into $317M through interagency partnerships!

  15. 5. Stakeholder Input • Scientific societies, National Academy • REE Advisory Board • Producers, processors, industry • Land Grant University System • Non-governmental organizations • Other federal agencies • International coordination • And more!

  16. Role of NPL’s in Priority Setting • Gather information from a wide range of stakeholders • Interact with other NPLs within USDA, and at other federal agencies, to coordinate and leverage • Integrate all of the information gathered, using the 5 priorities • Develop program areas commensurate with funding available…which is never enough!

  17. NRI funds vs. Other Agencies(NIH, NSF, DOE)
