Outstanding Project Application

The ERME Program makes Outstanding Project Awards on an annual basis. Your project will be eligible to compete for the award approximately 15 months after the original final report due date. Although you may complete this reporting section at any time, it is NOT required for your final report. Project Directors will receive notification when the award application period is open and will be able to return to this section in the RVS at that time.

By choosing "Yes", you are indicating that you would like to utilize the individual success story as part of your application for the ERME Outstanding Project Award. You can rewrite your story as desired prior to submitting your final award application.

Be sure to detail how one or two individual farmers or ranchers benefited from the project. Discuss the economic impact your project had on these producers. Describe what strategic steps were taken to reduce risk.

After you click "Yes" you will be presented with additional questions to complete your application. How did your project help farmers and ranchers achieve the risk management outcomes you proposed?  Why are these achievements significant to food and agriculture?  

To submit your award application, click "Submit" and then choose to re-submit your final report.
