Seed Grant Program

The Department of Agronomy and Horticulture seed grant investments support the department’s strategic framework by strengthening integration across teaching, research, and extension and advancing our shared vision of innovation in diverse plant systems. Guided by our core values, these investments encourage collaboration, creativity, and entrepreneurial thinking while building capacity for meaningful impact. Through the Seed Grants, the department invests in people, ideas, and shared infrastructure that translates discovery into practice, enhances student learning, strengthens stakeholder engagement, and positions programs for sustained success and impact.
