The Sun Grant Initiative is in its tenth year of operation, and is continuing to grow the nation's bioeconomy through science in order to meet its energy needs, to support its rural communities, farms and forests, and to protect and sustain the environment. In recent years, the Sun Grant Initiative has strengthened its working relationships with key government agencies as well as with state agenci

es, federally funded laboratories, academics, public interest groups, and the private sector. The members of working teams continue to build from their own disciplines, but have moved to effectively working together, creating the truly interdisciplinary projects that are necessary to make the production of bioenergy a practical reality. In the years to come, Sun Grant aims to maintain its effective working relationships with the scientists and administrators who have made bio-based energy a success so far. We look forward to continuing to explore opportunities to collaborate, and to share findings and solutions to the nation's energy needs.
