The Sorghum and Millet Innovation Lab has been extremely pleased with the level of interest shown by researchers, organizations and institutions from the around the world in being a part of its exciting future in sorghum and millet research. Nearly 60 concept notes were submitted late last year for review by the Sorghum and Millet Innovation Lab’s External Advisory Board, and 15 were selected to move forward with a complete research proposal. Those proposals were received in mid-February and are currently under review for final selection.

The Sorghum and Millet Innovation Lab is very optimistic about this next wave of sorghum and millet research and will continue to identify additional funding opportunities in the future. Any questions regarding the selection process may be directed to Director Dr. Tim Dalton at tdalton@k-state.edu.
