SRAC: What's New
Request for Pre-Proposals:
The USDA-NIFA Southern Regional Aquaculture Center is conducting a Request for Pre-proposals (RFPs) for 4 priority projects identified at the SRAC Annual meeting. The RFPs are:
- Proper Catfish Fingerling Transport and Pond Acclimation
- Mitigate Cold Water Effects in Marine Foodfish and Ornamental Fish Production
- Tailoring Feeds with Optimal Protein:Energy Ratios for Hybrid Catfish
- Increasing Protein Retention and Managing Ammonia Concentrations in Pond Culture of Hybrid Striped Bass and Catfish
These projects will be developed using the “Comprehensive Proposal Method” where a team of multi-state scientists, having demonstrated records of expertise in the subject, complete a single pre-proposal that addresses all project objectives. One proposal will be selected for funding based on review by a committee of scientists not involved in any of the proposals that are submitted. No funds are currently obligated or authorized by USDA-NIFA and therefore no awards will be made in this RFP cycle until SRAC receives the funds from USDA. The RFP may be withdrawn or start dates delayed based on timing of USDA-NIFA funding.
