This program is designed to provide one-time seed funding to help initiate work requiring immediate attention until other longer-term resources can be secured to address the issue. The Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service (CSREES) will be soliciting proposals on an as-needed basis during the year to address specific new or emerging issues. For this particular solicitation CSREES is requesting proposals that address specific aspects of the following issues: Honey Bee Colony Collapse Disorder and Uganda (Ug99) Strain of Wheat Stem Rust. Priority will be given to proposals which demonstrate evidence of collaboration and communication with working groups and approved multi-state research committees, however all applicants qualified to conduct the research are encouraged to apply. The original closing date for this request was November 7, 2007 but has been extended to September 30, 2008. For more information contact Rick Meyer at (202) 401 - 4891 or hmeyer@csrees.usda.gov.
