Incubation Projects
These projects are still in the idea stage and pre-planning stage. Work on these projects will take project leaders through an innovation process designed to help them think through their project ideas, audiences, outcomes, and plans. These projects will plan, test, and create a pilot. The Fellowship amount is $5000.
A Program Team for Multimedia IPM Outreach Fellow: Wayne Buhler, North Carolina State University
Fellow Report: We kept a busy schedule of virtual meetings that included a number of our team members and Extension Foundation (EF) NTAE supporters. Each meeting is listed below: 1. August 17. Tira Adelman announced that we received the NTAE grant and the benefits provided by EF through it. 2. October 12. Molly Soeby, our Coach, was introduced to the group and we had a Q&A session with her. 3. October 25-Nov 15 ISBE meetings and "homework sessions". Our team was well represented at each of the 4 ISBE sessions and follow-up (homework) sessions for each week. We made an elaborate Mural and presented a compelling 1-minute pitch. Significant Results: We will submit a grant proposal (indicated below and attached) that was the culmination of several meetings. The ISBE experience helped us to define the project and audience. A tremendous amount of work went into the writing of the proposal and our team is very enthusiastic about it! Experience(s) working with your Coach, Catalysts, and/or Key Informants as applicable. Molly Soebe is an excellent Coach and participant. Her background and skills are a wonderful match for our team. It's a pleasure and honor to work with her! Anticipated Work for Next Reporting Period: (Please list the objectives and goals for the next reporting period.) ● On December 7 the team put finishing touches on a grant proposal submitted to the Western IPM Center for $30,000 on December 9. ● Follow up on our proposal with the Western IPM Center. Looking forward to the Impact Collaborative Summit.
