Selecting more than one USDA Knowledge Area:  Several of you said that you wanted to select more than one USDA Knowledge Area.  We added a pull-down menu to each scholarly work so that you can classify each to a USDA Knowledge Area.  This will enable us to write a better annual Federal Report for the USDA, and to rapidly generate accomplishments from eFARS to show our stakeholders, including potential donors.

Frequently Asked Questions

My report lists my current graduate students and I did not put them there.  Where did those data come from?  We imported data from the CALS Graduate Tracking Application from the departments.  This was done to save you time.
