Currently, we have 15 members (6 tenure-track faculty from two departments and two schools, 9 graduate students and PSO-track faculty\/staff). The group has had 3 meetings since its inception in mid-2019. Our goal is to meet virtually each month to share updates on current research projects and outreach efforts, discuss grant opportunities, and plan for various-scale funding proposals. We will use the requested funding to bring the group together physically and tour the three campuses to view on-going research trials at each location, as well as visit lab and related facilities. This will strengthen our network and facilitate the identification of specific collaborative research projects. In addition to team building we plan to use the funds to bring materials together and publish an extension newsletter and promote citizen science efforts such as the Pollinator Census and the outreach program Connect to Protect.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
