Proposals and Review Process
The Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission (Sask Wheat) accepts research proposals in a variety of ways.
Proposals
The preferred methods for receiving proposals is through the Saskatchewan Agriculture Development Fund (ADF) and the Agriculture Funding Consortium (AFC). ADF and puts out a call for Letters of Intent due April 15, and AFC on April 6 of each year, respectively, with funding decisions finalized in the fall/winter of each year.
For more information visit the Agriculture Development Fund (ADF) page in the Saskatchewan government website.
We may also accept proposals through other funding agencies or groups in Western Canada. If proposals are within the priority areas identified by Sask Wheat, and have a clear benefit to Saskatchewan wheat producers, they will be considered for funding.
Review Process
Once a proposal is received, it will be reviewed by the Research Program Manager and the Board of Directors to determine its fit within strategic priority areas, scientific merit, benefit to producers and perceived return on investment. Industry experts may be called upon to act as advisors where appropriate. Following this, the Board of Directors will make funding decisions.
If you have a research proposal that you feel aligns with Sask Wheat’s strategic priorities and would benefit Saskatchewan wheat producers, please contact Sask Wheat’s Research Program Manager.
