BACKGROUND

The primary goal of the Montana Pulse Research & Market Development Program as stated in the enabling legislation, "In order to protect and foster the health, prosperity, and general welfare of the people of Montana, it is declared to be the public policy of this state to encourage and promote intensive, scientific, and practical research into all phases of agricultural commodity culture, production, marketing, and the development of markets for commodities grown or produced in Montana.”

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

The Montana Pulse Advisory Committee invites proposals to fund demonstration projects, applied research and market development projects designed to address Montana's pulse industry needs and opportunities.  All research & marketing project applications will be reviewed by the Advisory Committee at the first regular meeting each year and a recommendation made to the department, which projects they would like funded and the amount of funding suggested.  Recommended projects will be determined by amount of funds, type of project, need and whether the project is new or on going.  Generally, to qualify for consideration, proposals must have practical, near-term application involving practices or organizational arrangements that will stimulate an expanded pulse industry.
