AMBA Research

Grant Program

Investing in better barley

The AMBA research grant program leverages member investment to fund barley research programs throughout the U.S. to encourage and support an adequate supply of high quality malting barley. The focus of the research program is applied barley breeding and related support programs, including basic research. This funding supplements the significant investments secured at the federal level for various research initiatives, which AMBA has directly influenced. Significant progress has been realized in the improvement of malting barley varieties as a result of the collaborative efforts of state and federal research facilities and industry partners.
