The project nomination period for the 2021 Food Use Workshop opened on Wednesday, August 18.

The nomination period will end on Wednesday, September 1, at 11:59 p.m. EDT.
Projects can be nominated as “A”, “B”, or “C” level priorities. Only projects given at least one “A” nomination (the highest nomination level) will be discussed at the 2021 Food Use Workshop taking place September 13 – 16.
Project nominations may be made in one of two ways:
Submit Through Your Regional Field Coordinator (Preferred): Submit a list of project requests you’d like to nominate as “A”, “B”, or “C”, as well as a justification for any “A” nominations, to your designated IR-4 regional field coordinator.

Self Nomination: If you choose to nominate a project yourself, you can do so using the Food Use Data Management System. New system users will need to create an account. Once logged in, you will arrive at the project nominations site. From there, click the “Food Use” or “Integrated Solutions” button and follow the subsequent instructions to submit your nominations.
