NIFA's Emergency Citrus Disease Research and Extension Program (ECDRE) addresses priorities identified by the Citrus Disease Sub-committee of the National Agricultural Research, Education, Extension and Economics Advisory Board through projects that integrate research and Extension activities and use systems-based, trans-disciplinary approaches to provide solutions to U.S. citrus growers. The overarching goals and desired outcomes for the ECDRE program are to combat Huanglongbing (HLB), commonly known as citrus greening, and its disease complex to continue to be able to farm citrus in a financially sustainable way through collaborative approaches and knowledge; transition from component-focused research to deploying research outcomes and conclusions on farms; and encourage research teams to bring knowledge together to find grower solutions to combat and prevent HLB infection. Pre-application deadline: March 17.
