The North Central Risk Management Education
Center is beginning its competitive grant programs for
2005-2006. During the past four years the Center has
been able to offer approximately $2.5 million in grants
for the development of risk management educational
programs for producers in the North Central Region.
The grant program encourages collaboration and
partnering of public and private entities inside and
outside of the region.  
The grants average between $25,000 and $40,000.
Approximately 25 – 30 proposals across the twelve
states will be funded this year.
 
The online application process is a two step pro-
cess. Individuals interested in applying for funding will
complete an online pre-proposal application form.
This form outlines their educational program and must
clearly state: 1) the targeted results, 2) how those
results will be verified, 3) why the producers will
choose to participate in this project, 4) show collabora-
tion, 5) the use of innovative approaches, and 6)
demonstrate how the program could have wide appli-
cation.
The North Central Region includes twelve states.
These states include: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North
Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin. For

The Risk Management Education Center is grant-
funded through USDA and offers a competitive grants
program each year. This program enables educators to
develop and deliver risk management education
programs that respond to priority risk management
education needs of producers. The five areas of risk
include:  Production, Marketing, Financial, Legal and
Human Resource.
Located in the Department of Agricultural Eco-
nomics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the
North Central Risk Management Education Center’s
Director is Doug Jose, Extension Farm Management
Specialist, with Beth Eberspacher as Administrative
Coordinator, and Cheryl Griffith joining us in May as
Project Specialist.
Each summer since 2001, the North Central
Center has sponsored a Training Workshop. This year
it was located in Bloomington, IL. The workshop is
designed for project directors, state extension contacts
and others in the North Central Region that are
interested in risk management education and applying
for risk management grants.
The goals of this workshop are to have public and
private institutions come together and share their
experiences in risk management education, assess
futures risk management education needs in the region
and present information on funding opportunities for
the coming year.
The goal of the risk management education pro-
gram is to provide agricultural producers with the
knowledge, skills and tools needed to make informed
risk management decisions for their operations.

Here are some of the comments the participants shared as a result of attending the workshop:
Some of the changes they would make:
“This has been a great opportunity for gaining insight and suggestions for improving the development, delivery, evaluating, and
reporting our program.”
“Will be more formal in my grant writing efforts.”
“Review our evaluation tool to make sure we address our
targeted goals as well as make sure we address the
changes/actions that participants gained.  Also make better
explanation of why participants -choose- to participate for
grants, not just simply stating the assessed needs.”
What they gained from this workshop:
“Networking and new programming ideas – we are not
alone – there are others to help and guide us.”
“New contacts, great ideas from other states, important
reminders for fulfilling grant requirements.”
“Appreciation for the wide variety of projects funded by
the RME Center.”
