The National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) are partnering to offer the BREAD Program, a new grant supporting innovative basic scientific research. This grant is for addressing key constraints in smallholder agriculture within the developing world. A significant requirement is a clear connection between the proposed basic research outcomes and their direct relevance and potential application to agriculture. This program expands on previous initiatives by supporting a broader range of scientific research and enabling funding for international collaborators through subawards. The focus is on novel, transformative basic research at the proof-of-concept stage, encouraging proposals for crop productivity and efficient production practices, while also welcoming research from all scientific and engineering fields that aligns with program objectives and broader societal impacts.

| Description: | The National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) are partnering to support a new research program to be administered by NSF. The objective of the BREAD Program is to support innovative basic scientific research designed to address key constraints to smallholder agriculture in the developing world. A significant distinction between BREAD and other NSF programs is that proposals to BREAD must make a clear and well-defined connection between the outcomes of the proposed basic research and its direct relevance and potential application to agriculture in the developing world. The BREAD Program takes the activities of the Plant Genome Research Program (PGRP) to the next level by supporting a broader range of scientific research and by enabling funding to be allocated to international collaborators through subawards. The Program’s focus is on novel, transformative basic research at the proof-of-concept stage rather than its application or development. Especially encouraged are original proposals that address major constraints to the productivity of crops important to smallholder farmers, or on the development of novel and efficient production practices. Although the Program places an initial emphasis on crop improvement, it will also consider innovative basic research proposals from scientists in all fields of research and engineering as long as the proposed research is consistent with the Program objectives. Proposals are also expected to address project outcomes in the context of broader societal impacts, and as appropriate to the research proposed, engage international partners in scientific collaborations. |
