Our rigorous scientific review process includes External Peer Reviewers and Advisory Councils Members to ensure we fund bold science addressing big challenges.
Each Priority Area has an Advisory Council, comprised of scientists, farmers and industry experts. Council members engage with scientific program directors, the chief scientific officer and other FFAR staff to advise on program development, identify potential partnerships and provide input on strategic direction within their Priority Area.
FFAR identifies council members from a wide range of backgrounds and expertise. We seek to have scientific representation from a range of stakeholders including academics, industry company scientists, farmers, etc. who are knowledgeable about research in their assigned research Priority Area.
