Challenges & Opportunities Equal distribution of research & outreach grant funds among the member institutions Continuation beyond 2007, new MOU to be negotiated in 2006 Continuity in Coordinator position – Envisioned as rotating among member states – Time commitment is about 20% – Could be burden for junior faculty – Currently a semi-retired faculty member at NCSU

Challenges & Opportunities Secure funds from extramural granting agencies Grow beyond current four members to serve entire southern small fruit industry – SRSFC representative will visit to discuss potential membership with faculty & administration – 25% of Hatch and Smith-Lever funds mandated for multistate research & extension – Contact Tom Monaco at or (919) to arrange a visit
