The GROW (Generating Research Opportunities Workshop) Urban Agriculture Conference strives to enhance urban agriculture and food systems through developing collaborative proposals that tackle critical issues.
The GROW Urban Agriculture virtual conference is designed to engage researchers, Cooperative Extension professionals, educators, industry representatives and community collaborators in the development of integrated urban agriculture funding proposals.
During this conference, interdisciplinary teams will collaborate to produce creative and effective proposals rather than spend resources competing against one another.
This conference will occur in three phases:
Phase I: Nov. 1-3, will focus on developing teams.
Phase II: Nov. 4 to Jan. 16, 2024, will be a time for teams to work together on proposals at their own pace.
Phase III: Jan. 17-19, 2024, will include an opportunity for teams to present their proposals to a mock grant review panel and have time to incorporate and refine their proposals.
Registration is required, but there is no cost to participate. This conference is supported by a USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture grant.
