Collaboration

Industry support

To advance research and address critical issues within the turfgrass industry and your community, we seek partners willing to support our team. Please contact Ming-Yi directly if you are interested in exploring the partnership. Turfgrass research is underfunded at the federal level. The annual cost for non-federally funded positions is currently ~$90K for a graduate student and ~$120K for a postdoctoral researcher, not including experimental expenses. These costs are projected to rise due to inflation and higher and higher fringe rate each year at Rutgers.

Visiting scholars

My team welcomes visiting scholars from around the world. We are happy to collaborate and write support letters or grant proposals for visiting scholarships.
