2023 Research Proposal Submission Guidelines

The Foundation for Meat and Poultry Research and Education (Foundation) is a non-profit research, education and information foundation established to study ways the meat and poultry industry can produce better, safer products and operate more efficiently.

Proposals can be submitted on the Foundation’s website using the Research Proposal Submission Form. One form should be completed for each proposal submission. Only one priority may be selected for each proposal submission. If a proposal fits more than one priority, choose the most appropriate priority, and additional priorities may be mentioned in the project description section. Within the submission form, you will not be able to italicize, bold, and underline words. The form will also not spell check your submission. Any attachments (figures, graphs, letters of support, etc.) may be added at the bottom of the form. Please only submit PDF files. The indirect costs policy is available here.
