Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Better coordination of research activities with QSSBs, regional checkoff research programs and development of joint strategies to address key soybean research issues.
Reduction of redundancy across checkoff research programs through better communication and coordination of activities.
Good working relationships are established between USB, QSSBs, public research entities, and commercial companies.
USB provides technical expertise to ASA.

Final Project Results

Achieving the objectives
- A research group meeting was held with the Iowa Soybean Assn team that is developing a new checkoff-funded research database and website. Goal of this searchable database is to help reduce research redundancies among checkoff-funded projects.
- Support was provided for the National C-FAR group to provide research updates to Congressional staffers.
- Support was provided to support the annual meeting of the Sclerotinia Work Group, a consortium of researchers from different commodities that work together to identify management strategies to reduce the impact of Sclerotinia on crop yield and quality.
- A meeting of the Oil and Charcoal rot research teams was supported to allow them to plan research activities for the 2015 growing season.

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
