Outreach • Gramene’s outreach programbridges the interface between program staff and a diverse audience that includes researchers, agriculturalists, and students of all ages. • Gramene aims to improve research through the dissemination of information. This dissemination of information is the definition of outreach.
Outreach Components • Database development and maintenance. • Database promotion, education and support. • Community Collaboration. • Education.
1. Database development and maintenance. Provide Resources = Education = Outreach Add data Simplify web design and graphical displays Tailor the website to meet users’ needs Develop tools / GrameneMart
2. Database promotion, education and support. Promotion is essential for letting users know about the availability of data (information) and updates to that data. • Announcements list-serve • Reviewed and expanded in 2005 • Brochures • Articles and press releases • Participation on other projects • Posters and abstracts (12) (also serve as education)
