ATTN Researchers: BCRC Proof of Concept and Clinical Trial Call for Proposals OPEN -2025

The Beef Cattle Research Council invites proposals for proof-of-concept projects and clinical trials. The application deadline for this call is July 21, 2025, at 11:59 PM MT.  

With increased investment in research through the Canadian Beef Cattle Check-Off, the BCRC has committed to provide research funding in two key areas that have previously had limited funding:  

  • Proof of Concept – proposals to help inform whether a concept is worth pursuing as a larger, more defined funding request 
  • Clinical Trials – proposals to validate practices or technologies that have been discovered through research projects and/or to facilitate the adaptation of technologies utilized in other sectors, commodities or countries 

The BCRC has committed funding to short-term projects in these two areas, with a maximum of $50,000 per project regardless of duration. Project duration should be between six months to one year, unless a clear rationale can be provided demonstrating the need for a longer timeframe.

Legacies of the Land

Video: Legacies of the Land

Every farm has a story. Together, they tell the story of America. ???? Watch the full Legacies of the Land film — AGCO's tribute to the families who've fed and shaped America for 250 years.

From Missouri to Kentucky to Idaho, three multi-generational farming families — Lehenbauer Farms of Palmyra, Missouri; Matthews Land & Cattle of Oakley, Idaho; and Riney Dairy of Springfield, Kentucky — share what it means to live, work and pass down a life on the land. Their stories are different. The legacy is shared.

"Every farming family has a story worth telling, rooted in resilience, stewardship and love for the land." — Eric Hansotia, AGCO Chairman, President & CEO
