Grant Overview

Ohio's urban horticulture research grants are constrained by significant capacity gaps in the state's research infrastructure. A recent report found that Ohio's research institutions face a shortage of over 200 research scientists and engineers in the field of horticulture, limiting the state's ability to innovate and adapt to emerging challenges. This capacity gap affects not only Ohio's research institutions but also the state's urban agriculture sector, which relies on evidence-based practices to drive growth and sustainability. Who is impacted by this capacity gap? Researchers, urban farmers, and community organizations across Ohio struggle to access the expertise and resources needed to advance urban horticulture. For instance, an urban farm in Cleveland reported difficulty finding experts to advise on soil remediation techniques. How does the grant program address this capacity gap? Participants will receive funding to support research projects focused on innovative gardening techniques, with a priority on projects that demonstrate potential for scalability and impact. For example, a researcher might investigate the use of hydroponics in urban agriculture, with a focus on reducing water consumption and increasing crop yields. Ohio's Research Infrastructure is characterized by a strong network of universities and research institutions, including Ohio State University and the University of Cincinnati. However, the state's rural regions, such as Appalachian Ohio, face significant challenges in accessing research funding and expertise. Unlike neighboring Michigan, Ohio's grant program requires applicants to demonstrate a clear plan for knowledge translation and outreach, ensuring that research findings are accessible to practitioners and policymakers. Capacity Building in Ohio's Urban Horticulture Sector requires a multifaceted approach, including investment in research infrastructure, workforce development, and community engagement. Ohio's Economic Development Strategy prioritizes the growth of the state's urban agriculture sector, with a focus on creating jobs and stimulating local economies. What are the Readiness Requirements for Ohio? Applicants must demonstrate a strong track record of research productivity, with priority given to those with experience in urban horticulture and a clear plan for project execution.
