Grant Writing Workshop


The Southern Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education (SARE) program offers support for M.S. and Ph.D. research in sustainable agriculture. The Florida SARE program provides training to graduate students that is specific to this grant program and focuses on what students need to include in a successful proposal. Our experience has been that students who attend the training sessions have greater success with their submissions.
