HRI Seeks Industry Help in Setting Funding Priorities

WASHINGTON, DC – The Horticultural Research Institute (HRI) is investigating future research initiatives to guide the organization’s priorities for the next 5 years. HRI is seeking participants from the nursery and landscape industry to complete an online research assessment survey. All participants who complete the survey by May 31, 2013, will be entered to win an iPad mini.  

The online research survey is found at: http://surveys2.bayasoft.com/StandPoint_0008/index.aspx?l=1

The complied results of the online survey will assist HRI in establishing funding priorities for its competitive research grants program along with advising the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service to focus federal research dollars on critical industry issues through the Floriculture & Nursery Research Initiative.
