The Horticultural Research Institute (HRI) has announced that it is providing $400,000 to 16 new projects. 
The projects are seeking solutions to problems in the fields of pest managment, horticultural production, environmental stewardship, and business and marketing. HRI encourages investigators to seek out matching funds as part of the proposal application process. As a result, an additional $445,000 in funds from other granting agencies more than doubles HRI’s 2014 research investment.
