The group had an open discussion of research questions of interest, barriers to conducting research, and possible ways to overcome those barriers. We made a plan to continue to meet quarterly online, and to continue in-person meetings, likely at the same time and place next year. We concluded by electing a new officer to fill out the slate of officers who will plan future meetings (A Wallingford – secretary, X. Zhao – chair elect, and F. Di Gioia – chair).
Accomplishments
We held our second annual meeting, in which 11 research and extension professionals from 9 states came together to share data and discuss research activities and collaborations. We continued conversations about expanding potential multistate collaborations, and we compiled a list of publications, research projects, and collaborative activities in the form of state reports, to facilitate further coordination.
