in the context of NIFA’strategic
goals. The workshop also provided an opportunity
for communication between NIFA and the
stakeholders to ensure relevant issues were
being addressed, as well as to explore new
areas for consideration. In turn, the
workshop informed stakeholders of current
NIFA and interagency programs. Federal
program managers from NIFA, USDA Agricultural

and the National Science Foundation attended
and participated in a question and answer
