A Systems Approach to Understanding the Nutrient Cycle Across the Pork Ecosystem
The National Pork Board is soliciting proposals from investigators to fill gaps in knowledge that will enable a systems approach to understanding nutrient flow in pork’s ecosystem.
A comprehensive understanding of how nutrient (C, N, P, K, S, Zn, Cu, Mn) transfer — from pigs, to manure, to soil, to grain crops in turn used for pig feed — is necessary to determine where nutrient use efficiencies can be optimized.
Proposals from individual investigators or a coalition of investigators across multiple disciplines, geographies and institutions will be accepted.
Funding Amount: There is an upper limit of $1,000,000 for the entire project period of up to 4 years.
Due Date: All proposals for this program are due Oct. 4, 2022.
Proposal Format: All proposals submitted for NPB consideration must follow NPB’s standard research proposal requirements. Proposals that follow the correct format and meet the requirements will be reviewed favorably.
