The purpose of the NAFEX Claypool-Lehman Research Fund is to support small-scale experiments in areas of fruit research that, while valuable to the fruit-growing public, are not likely to be funded by government agencies or private agribusiness corporations. It is a niche where NAFEX can have a significant impact per dollar.
Have a larger research project in mind? Feel free to submit a more expensive proposal with the understanding that, although NAFEX won’t be able to fully fund it, we might be able to help point you to other sources of funding.
