• Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI)

  USDA-NIFA 0000-0000-0000 [$120,000] (2020-10-01~2022-09-30)

  Objectives: To achieve sustainable genetic improvements of agricultural species, the expertise of a broad community of agricultural researchers must be engaged from both crop and livestock communities. This includes integrative disciplines such as life science, breeders, engineers, data scientists, economists, and social scientists. The overall objective of the Agriculture Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI) is to assemble and prepare a transdisciplinary community to conduct AG2P research. This initiative will: - Develop a vision for AG2P research - Identify research gaps and opportunities - Foster early community solutions to these challenges and gaps - Rapidly disseminate findings to the broader community

  Project directors:

  • Patrick Schnable, Iowa State University
  • Jennifer Clarke, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
  • Jack Dekkers, Iowa State University
  • Carolyn Lawrence-Dill, Iowa State University
  • Eric Lyons, University of Arizona
  • Brenda Murdoch, University of Idaho
  • Chris Tuggle, Iowa State University

  Additional Info: AG2PI is a cooperative project involving 40+ institutions and/or organizations around the world with Scientific Board Members from institutions in multiple countries.
