Mini-Grant Funding Opportunity - Automating Big Data Lifecycles In Plant Sciences, Phenomics, and Genomics
In 2016, NSF awarded a Midwest “Big Data Spoke” project award to investigators from the University of North Dakota, Iowa State University, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and Kansas State University to advance Big Data management and analysis essential to sustainable global food security. One objective of this award is harmonizing and automating big data lifecycles in plant sciences, phenomics, and genomics. To that end, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Iowa State University are funding a mini-grant opportunity to address data challenges associated with digital agriculture. This opportunity will provide up to $5,000 per award (including F&A) to fund up to four teams to pursue one-year projects. Applications are due April 20, 2018, by 11:59 pm.
