	       As research and extension professionals within the Land-grant University   system, we are expected to disseminate knowledge, through active teaching of   undergraduate and graduate students and through our extension (continuing   education) programs.  
	      However, as part of our job responsibilities, we are also expected to   develop, fund and manage research programs on a continuous basis, by writing   grants. As you can imagine, our lives are interesting and ever-changing, but   incredibly rewarding!  
	      Here you will find links to our active research programs, by State. As you   will see, many of these projects are not only interdisciplinary, but also reach   out across State and sometimes even National boundaries, as we seek to form   teams that provide the skills necessary to tackle some of these complex research   problems.
