Partners
The NC Agricultural Research Service (NCARS) operates in close partnership with many other units, colleges, universities, and state and federal agencies to carry out its mission. However, NCARS has unique, long-term partnerships with the partners listed below.
- NC Cooperative Extension Service (CES) and Academic Programs (AP) - As the other two primary units with the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, NCARS's programs are fully integrated in both funding and implementation with CES and AP and most of our faculty have split appointments with one of them.
- College of Natural Resources - This college houses the Department of Forestry, which receives a federal appropriation of formula funds (McIntire-Stennis) that passes through NCARS and a number of faculty are also jointly funded.
- School of Agriculture & Environmental Sciences, NC Agricultural & Technical State University - As the only other land-grant institution within North Carolina, NC A&T has many research programs that are collaborative with NCARS and their Extension Program specialist work with CES to extend research generated knowledge and technology.
- School of Human Environmental Sciences, UNC-Greensboro - Faculty in the departments of Human Development & Family Studies and Nutrition & Foodservice Systems preform research in the areas of human development, social and cultural influences, human nutrition and other areas of family and consumer sciences funded through an annual allocation from NCARS.
- NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services - NCARS's unique partnership with NCDA&CS includes most notably co-ownership of the fifteen Outlying Research Stations (six NCSU and nine NCDA&CS) and providing the superintendent and farm crew for all fifteen.
- Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service, USDA - NCARS is the preforming organization for agricultural research in North Carolina funded under the Hatch Act of 1862 and therefore is linked to the Partners Office of CSREES within the USDA, who administers these formula funds.
