Phytochemicals in Fruits and Vegetables to Improve Human Health. This course involved collaboration of faculty from plant physiology, horticulture, plant breeding, food science, plant pathology, chemistry, biochemistry, postharvest physiology, and the medical sciences working on different forms of cancer and other diseases. This multidisciplinary approach resulted in an increase in teaching efficiency and instilled the value of interdisciplinary research in the students. The course is unique in that it empirically demonstrates how fruits and vegetables play a dominant role in our daily life. The modern technology of distance education is the tool that made this course possible and allows the expertise of diverse faculty members to blend. Offering this curriculum through distance learning made this courseware available to a large number of students located in different parts of Texas and other states. The unique educational CD ROM, videotape and Web Technology developed for this course enhances lecture material and provides timely information for collaborators, students, and general public. The core team members: instructor (Patil), web master (Lineberger) and


evaluation expert (Dooley), made this course useful and students from several institutions in the nation have received tremendous benefits.

Spring 1999. Due to successful external funding from USDA-Challenge grant in 1998 ($79, 945), this course is being delivered through compressed video conference to the following sites: Texas A&M University College Station (Hort 640), Texas Agricultural Experiment Station in Weslaco and Texas A&M University- Kingsville (6390), Texas Tech University in Lubbock (PSS 6001), Tarleton State University in Stephenville (Hort 5863), University of Texas-Pan American in Edinburg (PLSS 5390, Institute of Bioscience and Technology in Houston (Hort 640), Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas (BMS 5431) and University of Houston at Victoria (Bio 4300). Spring 2003. A small portion of the USDA-CSREES-IFAFS grant funding ($1.1 million) was provided for expanding this course to Michigan State University, Purdue University and University of Texas at Austin including the previous nine locations at Texas. Student enrollment was 49 and they were able to access streaming video of the class at any time. Spring 2005. The course was expanded to Ohio State University including the previous nine locations at Texas. Student enrollment was 64. Fall 2007. Students from Colorado State University and Nova Scotia Agriculture College, Canada and National Institute of Health enrolled in this course. Student evaluations demonstrated the positive impact of the course, which led to two peer- reviewed publications. In 2006, another USDA-challenge grant ($489,929) was funded to develop an undergraduate educational project entitled “The Science of Foods for Health: A Multi-institutional, Multi disciplinary Effort for Undergraduate Education”. This project included two curriculum development workshops, hands-on training in three land grant universities, and the train-the-trainer concept by undergraduate students who will teach high school teachers. Fall 2009- Second unique course, "Science of Foods for Health" offered: This first-of-its-kind multi-disciplinary course funded through USDA-Challenge grant was taught in Fall 2009. This course was taught from TAMU with a course number Hort 489 (TAMU) and two other land grant university students from Iowa State (Nutr 468X); Ohio State University (FST694) also participated in this unique course. This course curriculum was developed by conducting a multi-disciplinary and multi-state workshop. Developed a new web site (http://agrilife.org/foodsforhealth) for the course. A total of 26 students from four universities-Texas A&M, Iowa State University, Ohio State University and Purdue University, enrolled in the course and Department of Horticultural Sciences of TAMU is leading this course. In addition to our collaborators within grant, faculty from Harvard University, Cornell University, University of Arkansas, and


University of Manitoba provided guest lectures on specific topics established during the curriculum development workshop. A total of 18 content modules were developed and delivered through power point presentations and video recordings. The course lessons were developed and presented by 18 guest lecturers from eight universities. Student groups also developed and presented eight content lectures. The lessons developed and presented during the course helped to create a ‘Foods for Health’ curriculum, and contributed to the objective to improve students’ skills to integrate information. Train-the-trainer concept Presentations created by student groups, who completed the 'Science of Foods for Health' course, were presented to high school teachers in Texas and Iowa. Six teachers who participated in Texas completed a pre-test and a post-test about their opinions of integrating Foods for Health content into their classrooms. The course presentations helped students synthesize knowledge through their instructional delivery. The pre-test questionnaire also included demographic information and the post-test included background information about ways to for teachers to continue to receive Foods for Health information. Evaluation of the course was conducted by an external evaluator from Purdue University. The evaluation objectives and methods are described on page 80.

Administrative Responsibilities: Significant activities as VFIC Director Leadership role during last 10 years, I am fortunate to work with dedicated interdisciplinary faculty, staff and students and take great pride in many achievements we have realized during my tenure as Associate Director (2002-2004) and Director (2005-to-date). A few highlights of my accomplishments are listed below

• Collaborated with VFIC faculty, staff and students to develop and implement new strategic plans to increase VFIC resources, the numbers and diversity of undergraduate and graduate students and faculty, and to increase programmatic relevance and excellence

• Enhanced communication between Department Head, VFIC Director and AgriLife administrators and other scholarly entities associated with the VFIC.

• Created an advancement and development plan that enabled a commitment of $1.8 million in foundation funds.

• Initiated the offering of endowment scholarship. Goal is to raise $750,000 to support graduate students and to date $220,000 is collected.

• Effectively managed and responded to both federal and state budget cut in 2011, while at the same time secured operational funds to sustain the Center.

• Facilitated in submission of the external proposal approximately $89 million and secured $12.9 external grant including special grants since 2005.

• Serving as member of the Texas Vegetable Association Board. • Hosted 8 congressional members/staffers, 117 industry, 134 academicians, 183

consumers and 375 students. • Responsible for conducting and implementing VFIC Industry Advisory meetings

suggestions. This group meet every 3 months. • VFIC scientists peer reviewed publication record during my tenure as Director is

exceptional with 203 peer reviewed publications, 5 books, 28 editor reviewed publications and 84 invited presentations.

• Enabled providing support to the VFIC faculty for 43 graduate student research and training. Due to dedicated supervision of VFIC faculty, 38 graduate students completed their graduation and 25 undergraduate students trained. Good news is approximately 95% students are employed.

Industry membership. Recently, our research activities related to citrus and their bioactive compounds on specific disease prevention, such as osteoporosis and cancer stimulated 11 new industry members to join the Center. Several VFIC scientists, Kendal Hirschi, Kevin Crosby and Leo Lombardini’s research effort has led General Mills, Lark seed and Texas Pecan Growers Association, respectively joining the Center, New VFIC industry members since 2005: Sunkist, Inc., California, General Mills, Campbell Soup Inc., New Jersey, Minute Maid (Coca Cola Inc.,), Tropicana Juice (Pepsi Inc.,), Advanced Orthomolecular Research, Canada, TexaSweet Inc., Mission, KGK Synergize, Canada, Texas


Citrus Exchange, Mission, Texas Pecan Growers Association, College Station, Lark Seeds, California, Bagley Produce, Texas. Center Review. For the first time, TAMU Board of Regents initiated Centers/Institutes review in 2005. With help of staff and VFIC faculty members, a comprehensive accomplishments report was submitted in 2005 and 2011. First review helped me to establish the VFIC guidelines and policies which helped tremendously to be accountable and responsible leader of the Center and made easier to compile the report in 2011. Thanks to the TAMU AgriLife Central administration, who enabled to meet our Center needs after a follow-up correspondence with appropriate administrators. Established and implemented new guidelines for the VFIC Membership to increase operational efficiency. Some of these guidelines are implemented in successful Institutes and Centers of land grant universities.

• Developed guidelines of the VFIC scientific membership and received approval from the Vice Chancellors cabinet.

• The established guidelines have been approved by the respective scientist and their immediate supervisors such as Department Head and Directors of Texas AgriLife or respective authorized persons from respective institutions.

• Total 26 scientific members across the nation have joined the VFIC. • VFIC scientific members are from several departments, off-campus centers of TAMU

system and other institutions in the State of Texas and other states. • New direction of the VFIC research activities. Historically, the VFIC has been working

on breeding of vegetables and certain fruits. During 2005, in addition to the conventional breeding work, several new and cutting edge research projects, related to processing effects on bioactive compounds as well as pre-and post harvest effects, were initiated. Additionally, the research focus has changed on isolation and characterization of bioactive compounds. Further testing these bioactive compounds in cell and animal studies, and recently even human intervention studies, to understand the mechanism are being conducted. Specialty crops are also under investigation to understand their health maintaining properties.

• VFIC Core Units: In order to achieve the goal of emerging research on foods for health and provide access to all members, four Core Units were established 1) Isolation and Characterization Core Unit 2) Analytical Core Unit 3) Biotechnology Core Unit 4) Human Cell Culture Core Unit. Each core unit is assigned with a leader and responsible for the operation of their respective Core unit. Guidelines for operation and user agreements of each core units were established. Policies for the use of resources in each core units are being implemented.

• External Scientific Advisory Committee. VFIC has very strong industry support and continued to grow; however, it did not have scientific advisory board. In 2005, a seven member external scientific advisory board is formed and this committee will help the Director and assist the future direction of the VFIC.

• Supervised three research professors and five support staff members since 2005. • Developed two first-of-kind multi-disciplinary and multi-state courses. This was

achieved by conducting curriculum workshops by the shared ideas of three land grant universities which was funded by four federal grants with a total of $920,000. It also


provided an opportunity for experiential learning opportunities and faculty enhancement for multi-disciplinary teaching.

The MOU with Seoul National University, South Korea, National Horticulture Research Institute, South Korea and University of Agricultural Sciences, India has resulted in 2 student exchanges and 1 post doc training with a partial support from these institutions.


Evaluation of "Science of Foods for Health" Course. In addition to formal teaching several aspects of teaching effectiveness was achieved. The evaluation consisted of three objectives: Objective 1 – Engage faculty in development and testing of a curriculum in SFFH for undergraduate students majoring in a relevant field of agricultural science. Objective 2 – Improve undergraduates’ skills in integrating complex information from multiple scientific disciplines and synthesizing the knowledge as part of a cohesive study of SFFH through experiential learning and innovative instructional delivery. Objective 3 – Improve recruitment and retention of undergraduate students in agricultural sciences by developing the program that addresses the growing national need for people trained in FFH in the workforce. Evaluation Methods: A variety of evaluation methods were conducted to assess student outcomes, faculty outcomes, and high school teacher outcomes. Formative and summative evaluation of the course was conducted by the external evaluator from Purdue University. Developed questionnaire about the formative evaluation for the course based on scientific content and impact of the multidisciplinary course. The syllabus was created and evaluated to ensure clarity for students. Instructional guidelines were also evaluated and expanded upon to provide guidance to lecturers. A recruitment poster was also evaluated for effectiveness. Poster was circulated and posted in seven universities. Instructional guides, development of questionnaires, and formative evaluation methods were conducted during this year to provide feedback to effectively develop the new interdisciplinary course. To assist experts asked to teach lessons, the graduate research assistant collected information and developed instructional tools, including lecture guidelines for teaching with discussions and teaching with case studies. The graduate research assistant also created rubrics for presentation, team interaction, and team self-evaluation to aid instructors with creating course assignments.
