Station Projects: Scope and Approval Process The Maine Agricultural and Forest Experiment Station administers its research program by linking all funding support and progress reporting to formally approved projects as mandated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Approved projects must be within the scope of the federal acts that are the basis for federal and state (university) funding for station activities, meet other USDA requirements, and meet station standards. Project principal investigators (PIs) and the station are required to report annually to the USDA on the progress, achievements, and impacts of each approved project. |
