NGRA-SUPPORTED RESEARCH PROJECTS INVOLVE MULTI-INSTITUTIONAL, MULTI-STATE COLLABORATION, AND TARGET ISSUES THAT NO SINGLE GRAPE SECTOR COULD ADEQUATELY ADDRESS ON ITS OWN. OUR EFFORTS ARE FOCUSED IN FOUR THEME AREAS: 1) NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT, 2) INTEGRATED PRODUCTION SYSTEMS, 3) GENETICS AND GRAPEVINE IMPROVEMENT, AND 4) EXTENSION AND OUTREACH.AT THE NGRA-USDA-ARS GRAPE INDUSTRY WORKSHOP IN NOVEMBER 2023, FOUR "VINEYARD OF THE FUTURE" PROJECTS WERE CONCEIVED TO ADDRESS NGRA RESEARCH THEME AREAS. THESE PROJECTS FOCUSED ON 1) MEALYBUG DETECTION, 2) GENETICS TO SUPPORT MECHANIZATION (TWO PROJECTS-ONE TAILORED TO TABLE GRAPES AND RAISINS; THE OTHER, BROAD VITICULTURE) AND 3) CLIMATE CHANGE MAPPING AND MITIGATION. THROUGHOUT 2024, PROJECT TEAMS WORKED TO DEVELOP FUNDING PROPOSALS AND/OR BEGIN PRELIMINARY DATA COLLECTION TO LAUNCH THIS RESEARCH. 79291 30000 THESE MISSION-RELATED NGRA PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES ARE ONGOING:- NGRA FELLOWSHIP: THE INAUGURAL NGRA FELLOW, ABBY HAMMERMEISTER (UC DAVIS), CONCLUDED HER THREE-YEAR TERM IN 2024.
