Agricultural Research Foundation Competitive Grants Program -- History and Highlights

The Agricultural Research Foundation (ARF) was established in 1934 to facilitate and encourage research in all branches of agriculture and related fields for the benefit of the agricultural industry and to collaborate and work in close partnership with the Agricultural Experiment Station to accomplish these goals. Throughout its long history, it has provided grants for specific projects beginning with an $840 grant from the Hood River Apple Growers Association to study beneficial use of by-products from apples and pears. Initial year entries from the ARF accounting ledger for this project are shown below.

Other first year projects included a study on cherry brining funded by The Dalles Cooperative Growers, Inc. and another on use of sulfur in agriculture funded by the Texas Gulf Sulfur Company. The objective of the latter study was to develop and test a portable burner to transform lump sulfur into sulfur fumes that could be infused into irrigation water. Work was done by Dr. Wilbur Powers in both Corvallis and Vale, Oregon. This technique is still used today in organic blueberry and other acid-loving crop production in eastern Oregon and Washington.

The beginning of the Competitive Grants Program is also not completely clear, but in the history document published by Floyd and Foote in 1984, an item appears in the minutes of the 1978 meeting, “Following the recommendations of the directors, Foote had circulated a list of

requests for projects, part of a plan to support small research projects. Members of the Foundation Board rated the top six, which were to be supported with amounts ranging from $1,500 to $6,000, for a total of $18,600.” This is the first mention of a program whereby proposals are requested and Board members select those to be supported from ARF General Funds. Therefore, the beginning of the Competitive Grants Program is assumed to be 1978.

Name of the Committee

In the beginning, the research proposals were apparently rated by the entire Board or perhaps a few volunteers. One year, a few members of the Board were joined by representatives from the Agricultural Experiment Station to rate the proposals and provide a recommendation to the full Board for those to be funded. The record is not clear, but sometime in the 1980’s, a standing committee, the “Projects Committee,” was established. This name was used for many years in the ARF Annual Report, but in the minutes of Board meetings, “Venture Capital” became the most common name. In 2006, the Committee suggested that the name be changed to more accurately describe the activities of the Committee. The Board agreed to change it to the Competitive Grants Committee, but the name in the Annual Report continued to be the Projects Committee until this was finally noticed and changed in the 2011-2012 Report.

Number of grants and dollars allocated

The initial grants set the stage for supporting research in a range of agricultural areas. The initial six projects included bulk cheese starters, Fasciola hepatica antigens, mechanisms of resistance in wheat cultivars, response of forages to grazing systems in foothill rangeland, possible mechanisms of chalk brood disease resistance in the leaf cutting bee, and clover products. The following year allocation was more extensive with ten funded proposals from seven departments for a total of $38,458. The table below shows the increasing number of proposals submitted and the amount of funds provided to those funded. Table 1 is incomplete as details were not always provided in the minutes of the Board meetings or elsewhere. The funds available for the Competitive Grants varied from year-to-year as rate of return on Foundation investments rose and fell and because of other commitments from the General Fund. However, it is clear that the dollars committed to the Competitive Grant project rose significantly through the years.

The chart below shows Competitive Grant total dollar allocations for the program years 2010-12 to 2019-21.

Upper dollar limit for each grant

The upper dollar limit for each grant has been frequently discussed. Given that limited funds were available each year to support the grants project, the question of size of grant versus number of grants was routinely asked. If more dollars were available for each proposal, fewer grants could be awarded. In the beginning years, the record shows no mention of an upper limit. The first mention was in 1986 when the limit was set at $7,000. This continued until 1996 when the limit was increased to $7,500. In 2002, it was increased to $10,000. In 2007 it was increased to $12,500 where it remains at the present time. The Board recognizes that funding at this level will not support a major research effort, but the objective is to provide seed money for innovative ideas and to supplement research in new areas. It is the Board’s hope that introductory data obtained will lead to larger grants from federal, state, and private sources, as has often been the case. As can be seen in the above table and chart, total dollars allocated to the Competitive Grant Program has increased over time, but the Board has made the specific decision to retain the current upper dollar limit. This stance was affirmed in 2016 by a Competitive Grant Committee discussion and vote. An effort is underway in 2019 to reassess the limit. Given inflation over the past 12 years, an increase may be warranted.

Rating system Prior to 2001, proposals were rated on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being the best score). In 2001, ten of the proposals had equal ratings and the grants committee was asked to change the method of rating in order to reduce the chance of ties. The Committee suggested a 1-10 scale (1 still best), thus spreading out the possible scores and reducing the chances of ties. This was approved by the Board and the number of ties at the fund/not fund break point has significantly reduced in subsequent years. In 2013, the committee recommended that the highest and lowest ratings be eliminated when compiling the ratings. This was thought desirable because in one instance, a proposal from a newer faculty member was rated highly and would certainly have been funded except one committee member rated that proposal with a 10 (complete rejection). The Committee was small that year, so the 10 caused that proposal to drop below the funding level. More recently, the Committee commonly consists of 12-14 members. In 2017, given number of members, the Committee decided to discontinue the high/low score dropping procedure. In 2017, the Committee also decided to reverse the scoring system with 1 being worst and 10 best. The Committee decided such scoring was better aligned with other rating systems. The Committee also asked that reviewers, if possible, provide their rationale for all “1” (low) scores. Investigators sometimes ask for reasoning behind low ratings. Comments from reviewers would be useful in this regard. In a few cases ties do still occur in the rating process. In these instances, the Committee has agreed that tied proposals be ranked by reviewers to resolve ties. Change of allocation timing In the beginning of the program, the call for proposals was sent out in early spring, proposals were rated in late spring, and funds were available on July 1. Because many of the proposals involved research that needed to start in the spring, this meant that in a number of cases there were delays of many months between funding and the beginning of research. In 2009, the Committee recommended shifting the process to the fall such that funding would be available on February 1, in time for spring activities. This would also allow for proposal preparation by researchers and rating work by Committee members to be done in less busy times of the year. This proposal was approved by the Board and resulted in two granting periods during the 2009-10 fiscal year.

75th anniversary year In 2009, the Board discussed ways to celebrate the 75th anniversary year of the Foundation. A number of suggestions were made, but in recognition of the Foundation’s primary mission, it was finally decided to make two large, special grants of $100,000 each to be awarded at $50,000 in each of two years. Abbreviated pre-proposals were invited and 49 were received. The Committee rated these and narrowed them down to eight. Those researchers were then asked to submit a full proposal. These were rated and narrowed down to the two successful proposals – Dr. Sujaya Rao, Crop and Soil Science, “Enhanced Crop Production in Oregon: Augmentation and Management of Bee Pollinators” and Dr. Don Armstrong, Botany and Plant Pathology, “A New Class of Herbicides for the Control of Grassy Weeds.” These large grants plus the two $400,000 granting periods combined to a total of nearly a million dollars spent on competitive grants in the 2009-2010 fiscal year. Newer faculty favored From the beginning, the intent of the Board was to favor proposals from newer faculty, those who had five years or less of service. These small grants were relatively easy to obtain, in comparison to other grants, and were seen as a means to help launch careers. For years, newer faculty proposals were just identified and each committee member rated them a bit higher than those from older faculty. However, this rating could vary from one committee member to another. It was decided that committee members should ignore length of service and a sub-committee would meet after all ratings were in to determine an equal adjustment that would be given to all proposals from newer faculty. Over time, this adjustment settled in on a bonus value of -0.375 (negative given that 1 was the best score). In 2016, an assessment of a sliding “bonus” scale was made versus the fixed value. Less than one year of service was given a bonus of -0.5, two years -0.4, etc. In reviewing four years of data, it was found that a sliding scale gave no different results than the fixed value and so the fixed value bonus was retained. However, a change that was made in 2016 by Committee vote was that only assistant professors with five years or less of service would be given bonus points. Oregon State University (OSU) has been successful in the last ten years in hiring mid-career associate and full professors. While these individuals could have five or less years of service at OSU, the Committee decided that they did not need the same “leg up” that was beneficial to assistant professors. With the reversal in rating system approved in 2017, the bonus to newer faculty became +0.375.

Call for proposal and other process changes Prior to 2012, hard copies of proposals were sent to all Committee members. Booklets of hundreds of pages were being printed and mailed to ten or more Committee members. In 2012, committee members were given the choice of electronic or hard copy. In 2013, based on some confusion among researchers in prior year submissions, the Board recommended that the Call for Proposals be revised to clarify the intent and procedures for those submitting proposals. A sub-committee of Bud Weiser, Steve Price, and Arnold Appleby spent many hours making needed revisions. A section was added to advise the faculty how to write a proposal. Included was the suggestion to avoid complicated scientific terminology; “explain your intended research like you are discussing it with your neighbor over a cup of coffee.” They were asked to emphasize how the research could benefit Oregon agriculture, not just fill up more files with data to lead to another scientific paper. A copy of the current Call for Proposals is provided in Appendix One. Several committee members have commented that since these revisions, the quality of proposals has improved. Undergraduate Student Research Funding In the fall of 2016, the ARF Board decided to allocate $12,000 from its Competitive Grants funds pool to support undergraduate research in the College of Agricultural Sciences (CAS). ARF worked with the Academic Programs Office in CAS to develop an upper class, undergraduate research program through which $700-1000 was allocated per grant to support research experiential learning for students in either summer or the school term. This allocation meant that one less faculty research proposal could be funded but in essence 12 additional faculty received a small amount of funding to support their research efforts. Funded proposals Electronic records for the Competitive Grant program are available from 2006 to present. The principal investigators and the titles of their funded proposals for the period 2009 – 19 are listed in Appendix Two. Reports for proposals for 2013-15 and later grant periods can be found at http://agresearchfoundation.oregonstate.edu/past-projects

Conclusion

The ARF Competitive Grants program has infused over $9 million dollars into the OSU research system since its inception in 1978. We know that these funds have met their intended goal of launching the careers of young scientists and of opening the doors for new scientific discoveries. This program is an optional funding item within the ARF General Budget, but each year it is among the highest priorities for ARF Board members. It will be continued into the future.

Overview of the Competitive Grants Program

The Competitive Grants Program of the Agricultural Research Foundation (ARF/Foundation) is designed to encourage and fund research studies at OSU that will enhance Oregon’s agricultural productivity; the quality of its produce and products; and wise management and use of its natural resources - air, water, watershed, forest, fisheries, and wildlife. Our goal is to make catalytic grants that help young scientists launch their research, and help established scientists embark on new research directions or approaches.

The funds available to support the Competitive Grants Program are discretionary funds generated by the Foundation’s investments. The level of funding available for the program each year is determined by the Board of Directors. The Board’s decision is based on that year’s return on the Foundation’s investments minus the other costs of conducting Foundation business. Funding its Competitive Grants Program at the highest level possible is a top priority of the ARF Board.

In 2018, the ARF Competitive Grants Program awarded funds for 32 of 82 submitted proposals. Many unfunded proposals were highly ranked and considered to be worthy of funding by the panel, but could not be funded given dollar limitations.

Grant award decisions are based on the review and recommendations of a 12 plus member Grant Committee. Panelists are ARF Board members who volunteer to serve as reviewers. Committee members assign a numeric value to each proposal based on use of the proposal preparation guidelines and criteria listed on pages 4-5. Scores are averaged. The Grant Committee’s collective numeric scores are used to rank proposals with the cutoff for funding being determined by available dollars. Assistant professors with five years or less of work in the OSU system are given some preference in our ranking system.

Proposal Instructions/Criteria

The Agricultural Research Foundation is inviting research proposals from Oregon State University faculty members with the rank of Assistant Professor or above. Senior Research and Practice titled professorial faculty as well as courtesy and affiliate are eligible to apply. Funding best research is our priority. When proposals are similarly scored, we give preference to assistant professors. The Grant committee is not inclined to give a new award to a previous award winner (funding cycle 2016-18 or earlier) who has not filed a final report and/or has a fund balance greater than 50% of their allotted funds. Please contact Russ Karow if you have questions in this regard. Researchers may submit up to two proposals. One researcher had two proposals funded in the 2018-20 funding cycle.

1. Proposal(s) should focus on research important to Oregon's diverse agriculture andnatural resources. Research may be basic or applied. Preference will be given toproposals that may eventually lead to practical products or practices. For a listing ofpreviously funded proposals, see - http://agresearchfoundation.oregonstate.edu/past-projects

2. Joint, interdisciplinary projects are welcomed. Each joint proposal should specifically listthe complimentary proposal(s) but each should stand on its own. Each will be assessedon its individual merit. Each project is eligible for full funding. One, all, or none may befunded.

Proposal Guidance

Considerations in preparing your proposal:

1. The charge of the ARF is to aid in research. Projects for education or training are important, but fundsshould be sought elsewhere. Of course, conveying the results of the proposed research to potential usersis a crucial part of any research project. Requesting funds for defraying costs of such activities isacceptable.

2. A good proposal will emphasize how the proposed research is intended to aid in agriculture or naturalresources, either in the near future (applied) or by leading to developments further in the future (basic).Simply satisfying your curiosity or compiling data for a refereed paper will not impress the reviewers. Tellus specifically what significant contribution your research could make.

3. We do not fund acquisition or construction of facilities (bricks and mortar). Requests for equipmentneeded to carry out the proposed research are legitimate. The proposal must describe this need andspecify how the equipment will be used in this research, not just to better equip your laboratory.

4. While it may be easiest for you to directly cut-and-paste material from another proposal whenpreparing your ARF proposal, your proposal will be rejected if it is obvious that you have done so. Yourreviewers are primarily nonacademic people who may have only a minimal familiarity with the details ofyour science. Please write your justification, objectives, procedures, and impacts such that a person withlimited background can understand what you are saying – like talking with your next-door neighbor. Aproposal that reviewers cannot readily understand is likely to be poorly rated and not funded.

5. Research that is original and innovative tends to be favored. If appropriate, describe to what extentyour proposed study fits this description.

6. Future funding is difficult to predict, but tell us how the results of your research might help lead tofuture grant funding from other sources.

7. Please keep in mind that funds to finance this research are limited. We are able to fund no more thatone third to one-half of the requests. We regret that each year dozens of well-prepared and appropriateproposals cannot be funded simply because the funds available are limited.

8. The following is a list of questions that reviewers consider when doing their assessments. It is providedto help you plan and prepare your proposal.
