Brief Description of Topic: The workshop will involve presentations of completed and work in process of projects funded within the period of 2020-2023 by NIFA’s Agricultural and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) competitive research programs in agricultural and resource economics. The four AFRI economics programs represented are: (1) the Economics, Markets, and Trade (EMT) and (2) the Environmental & Natural Resource Economics (ENRE) programs; (3) Rural Economic Development; and (4) Social Implications for Emerging Technologies. Project directors whose projects are completed or near-completed will present papers outlining their research endeavors and findings. Projects that are in early stages will present posters outline their project objectives, methods, and anticipated results.
Relevance to AAEA Members/Meeting Attendees: The AFRI economics programs are competitive grants with the ability to fund only 15-20% of submitted proposals. A successful submission must be of high intellectual merit and provide broader impacts in terms of advancing the discipline, addressing important policy issues, or informing economic behavior and decision-making. The presented papers will illustrate the quality of research funded by AFRI and present variety new research addressing topics of interest to the AAEA members.
Intended Audience: The attendees will consist of project and co-project directors, both those with completed and ongoing projects. Ideally, the workshop will attract an audience of individuals who have not submitted proposals to AFRI or those who have submitted proposals but have not been successful in receiving an award. For that audience, it is hoped that the workshop will provide a sense of the type and quality of research that is funded. The workshop will also provide an opportunity for junior faculty to talk with experienced project directors about their views and experience with proposal submission and create an opportunity for both new and experience individuals to network and foster new research collaboration.
