[De Angelis, Patricia]

Request for Proposals for a Goldenseal Sustainable Harvest Study.

The American Herbal Products Association's (AHPA) Foundation for Education
and Research on Botanicals (ERB Foundation) has issued a request for
proposals to award grant funding to eligible applicants in order to enhance
and promote knowledge and understanding of sustainable harvest of
goldenseal (*Hydrastis canadensis*). The grant supports research on
goldenseal populations, root production, and effects of varying rates of
harvest on plant population health and recovery across multiple growing
sites in order to inform sustainable harvest and management decisions for
the herb. The anticipated amount of funding available for a sustainable
goldenseal harvest research project is up to $10,000 annually for up to 5
years.

The ERB Foundation seeks to support a broad range of projects and efforts
that support botanical research and education. The ERB Foundation funds
education and research on medicinal, therapeutic, and health-promoting
herbs. Specifically, projects that inform and promote best industry
practices and sustain the future of botanicals and the herbal products
industry for current and future generations. The ERB Foundation requests
proposals to award grants to eligible applicants in order to enhance and
promote knowledge and understanding of herbs important to commerce in the
U.S.

Proposals' format and content should adhere to the ERB Foundation guidance
(linked below) for research grant proposal submissions. Please submit
proposal by July 1, 2019. If you have any questions, please contact Holly
