The NC1034 community has not met in person for two years. Our planned April 2020 conference was cancelled at the onset of the pandemic. We held our 2020 business meeting online later in the year to focus on our proposal to renew NC1034 for another 5-year term. A couple options were considered for an in person conference in 2021, but due to ongoing pandemic uncertainties and member feedback regarding travel preferences, we are defaulting to an online meeting for 2021. While much of the value of our multistate research project arises from the personal connections that happen best when we gather in person, we will have to make do in the online world until it is once again safe for all to travel and meet in person.<br /> The NC1034 multistate research project Impact Analysis and Decision Strategies for Agricultural Research is an invigorating scholarly community of over 40 agricultural and resource economists and rural sociologists, from more than 20 major U.S. research universities, the USDA, and international organizations that comes together for communicating and coordinating cutting-edge economic and other social science research on science policy, R&D investment, innovation, adoption, and technological change in agriculture.<br />
