Notice of Stakeholder Listening Session Regarding Science Priorities

Streszczenie

USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture announces its stakeholder listening initiative "NIFA Listening Session for Stakeholder Input to Science Priorities." This stakeholder listening opportunity informs the research, extension and education priorities of NIFA, which has the mission of investing in and advancing agricultural research, education and extension to solve societal challenges. For the purpose of this opportunity, Agriculture is defined broadly and includes research, extension, and education in food, fiber, forestry, range, nutritional and social sciences, including food safety and positive youth development. NIFA's investments in transformative science directly support the long-term prosperity and global pre- eminence of U.S. agriculture. This effort to obtain input regarding the challenges, needed breakthroughs, and priorities will be carried out through online and virtual submission mechanisms. Stakeholder input received from the two mechanisms is treated equally.
