The Center for Produce Safety is accepting research proposals for 2014. The center and its partners, both public and within the industry, will make $3 million available for general and commodity-specific research.
CPS and its partners sponsor research projects designed to fill basic knowledge gaps in specific areas of food safety practices for fruit, vegetable, and tree nut production, as well as harvest and post-harvest handling. Core (general produce) research priorities endeavor to better understand risk potential and to develop more effective food safety management tools.
Proposals are due by March 14, 2014. Submit proposals through the CPS grant system, located here.
For more info on the grants or CPS, check out the organization's website.
