With the SNRE Mini-grants Program completing its third year of reporting, a comparison of
this fiscal year with the previous years show the program is reaching its goals of fostering
interdisciplinary work, advancing research and programs, and securing extramural funds. Over
the course of the intramural funding:
-
45 projects have been funded involving 255 PIs, Co-PIs and collaborators.
-
A total intramural allocation of $435,515 has generated a return of $11,906,037 from outside sources, a success by any measure.
-
340 deliverables were produced within this three year time frame.
-
96 publications have been produced, 97 national and international presentations were given; 89 grant proposals were submitted and 38 of those extramural proposals were
funded; also a wide variety of spin-off projects have occurred, including the creation of faculty positions, research and Extension programs, memorandum of agreements,
community development projects, student scholarships, curricula, and websites
