This grant supports research proposals that address honey bee health issues and beekeeping challenges. Funding decisions emphasize scientific methods, practical implications, statistical interpretation, and measurable impacts. Proposals must include detailed project design, communication plans, and budget justification. Researchers submit proposals for one of three annual review cycles, with funding disbursed in two installments. Indirect costs are not covered.
Researchers may submit proposals with an internal nomination required; only one proposal per institution per review cycle is allowed. Detailed eligibility criteria are not explicitly stated.
