overcoming challenges or realizing opportunities manifesting at any stage of the marketing chain including direct, wholesale, and retail.

Proposals must have a strong marketing focus, must involve research, and the primary beneficiaries must be agricultural producers and agribusinesses.

Proposals that involve training or education programs must include a research component that tests the effects of the program on the marketing goals.

Proposals may involve small, medium or large scale agricultural entities but should benefit multiple producers or agribusinesses.

Proposals that benefit one business or individual will not be considered.

Proposals that address issues of importance at the State, multi-State, or national level are appropriate for FSMIP.

Of particular interest are proposals that reflect a collaborative approach between the States, academia, the farm sector and other appropriate entities and stakeholders.

FSMIP will also consider unique proposals on a smaller scale that may serve as pilot projects or case studies useful as models for others.

Such proposals should include an objective to analyze opportunities and formulate recommendations with regard to how the project could be scaled up or expanded to other regions.

FSMIP will hold a teleconference to review the application guidelines and answer questions on May 7 at 2:00 pm Eastern time.
