The California Strawberry Commission (CSC) invites qualified researchers from public and private research organizations to request funding for projects that will directly benefit the California strawberry industry. Applied and basic research projects with clear benefits to California strawberry growers will be considered. 

The Commission will accept proposals for up to three years of research. However, proposals are funded on an annual basis and must be resubmitted each year for review and approval. Awarding of funding for proposals will be made after evaluation and review by our Science Advisory Committee (new proposals only) and the California Strawberry Commission’s Research Committee. Funded proposals will be posted on the Commission’s website. Any questions about the appropriateness of proposed research should be directed to Dr. Dan Legard (dlegard@calstrawberry.org / p. 831.724.1301). 

Submission deadline - July 23, 2019
