Success StorySubmitted 1890s Capacity Building Grant proposal



Submitted 1890s Capacity Building Grant proposal

Author: Tamara Potter

Planning Unit: Entomology

Major Program: Beekeeping

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

Describe the Issue or Situation.  I wrote a grant proposal to purchase diagnostic kits for Kentucky & Ohio beekeepers.  These kits are currently unavailable in the U.S.  The grant proposal request funds to buy kits, antibiotics for veterinarians and fund workshops. 


Describe the Outreach or Educational Program Response (and Partners, if applicable).  The partner is Dr. Hongmei Li-Byarlay, Central State University (Ohio).  The grant also lists as partners local beekeeper associations and veterinarians.  


Provide the Number and Description(s) of Participants/Target Audience.  200 beekeepers/200 veterinarians per year=1200 people over a 3-year period.  


Provide a Statement of Outcomes or Program Impact. Please note that the outcomes statement must use evaluation data to describe the change(s) that occurred in individuals, groups, families, businesses, or in the community because of the program/outreach.

This grant if funded would have a profound impact on food security in the Ohio River Valley
