2026 Fertilizer Research Program Request for Proposal
A Request For Proposal (RFP) will occur on the first Monday of March, and the Department will accept proposals for a 90-day period. A notice is posted to the Departments website, social media accounts, and outreach via an email list compiled of interested parties from previous years, partner agencies, and any additional outreach found to increase awareness.
Proposals must meet all the requirements as defined in the RFP, and proposals that do not meet these requirements will be deemed incomplete and not ranked for potential funding.
Background
The Oregon Department of Agriculture's fertilizer research and development program provides grant monies for field level projects that address the interactions of fertilizers, agricultural minerals, and agricultural amendments with ground or surface water. Since 1990, the program has provided over 1.9 million dollars for 90+ projects dealing with a wide variety of Oregon crops throughout the state. All funds distributed are generated through fertilizer, agricultural mineral, and agricultural amendments product sales (ORS 633.465).
Projects
All funded projects are indexed by funding year.
