STEEP (Solutions To Environmental and Economic Problems) is an innovative interdisciplinary research/education program focusing on developing profitable cropping systems technologies for controlling cropland soil erosion and protecting environmental quality. Initiated in 1975, STEEP is a collaborative project involving scientists and educators from the University of Idaho, Oregon State University, Washington State University, and USDA-Agricultural Research Service, in cooperation with grower organizations and agricultural support industries and agencies.
Washington State University is responsibly for sending out a Request for Proposals, which is usually in late July, to the Oregon and Idaho Experiment Station Directors. The Experiment Station Directors forward the RFP to all stations within their unit, and interested parties. The deadline for these proposals is typically in October, and award letters are sent out in January. The 2003 RFP and Proposal Forms are available by clicking on the link below.
