Call for Reviewers – The Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research Annual Call for Reviewers
The Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research (FFAR) is an independent nonprofit established by Congress to support innovative science addressing today’s food and agriculture challenges and complement the research mission of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. FFAR was created in the 2014 Farm Bill as a mechanism to spur innovation in food and agriculture research by forming unique public-private partnerships.
FFAR invites experts across the agricultural sciences to review grant proposals within topic areas according to their expertise. We are currently recruiting peer reviewers for the 2025 New Innovator Award, which provides early career scientists the investment needed to propel them into successful research careers.
The success of the peer review process depends on the willingness of qualified reviewers like you to share your time and expertise. You will be asked to review up to five (5) proposals in April – May 2025. In appreciation for completing the reviews, an honorarium will be provided to eligible, non-government employees.
To participate and receive more information, please complete the following 2-minute survey by February 28, 2025 to confirm that we can count on you to make this review process successful. We hope you consider this opportunity to work with FFAR as we strive to support innovative agricultural research.
