  1. A State’s-Eye View of the Plan of Work and Annual Report of Accomplishments and Results Steven Loring Associate Director Agricultural Experiment Station New Mexico State University

  2. General Issues Linked auditable fiscal data with programmatic descriptions Lack of communication between databases Cookie-cutter templates / reports Imposition of national-level program priorities Linkage with Knowledge Area (KA) codes Unrealistic goals requirements in POW New Mexico State University

  3. Several issues were raised at Plan of Work Review Panel in May 2010. USDA-NIFA working to implement recommendations in REEport. New Mexico State University

  4. USDA-NIFA Priority Areas Childhood Obesity Prevention Climate Change Global Food Security Food Safety Sustainable Bioenergy New Mexico State University

  5. We have addressed the priority areas by: • renaming and reorganizing existing planned programs • splitting them out from our existing research and Extension programs. New Mexico State University

  6. Exceptions are: • Childhood Obesity Prevention, which we have kept in Health and Wellbeing • Climate Change, which is part of Sustainable Management of Natural Resources. New Mexico State University

  7. ACES Strategic Themes, Focus Areas, and Knowledge Areas ACES research, academic, and Extension outreach activities fall into three broad strategic themes, which consist of focus areas. The focus areas are equivalent to our Plans of Work. Each is comparable to a NIFA portfolio, with associated Knowledge Areas (KAs). New Mexico State University

  8. ACES Strategic Themes • Agriculture and Natural Resources • Community and Economic Development • Human Capital New Mexico State University

  9. ACES Strategic Theme: Agriculture and Natural Resources • Sustainable Management of Natural Resources • Global Food Security and Hunger • Food Safety New Mexico State University

  10. Sustainable Management of Natural Resources contains KAs covering: • Range and forest management techniques • Water and soil management techniques • Appraisals of forest and range conditions for production of livestock forage, water yield, wildlife habitat, forest productivity, and reclamation activities • appraisals and remediation of water, soil, and air. These improve the economic performance and long-term protection and sustainability of New Mexico's natural resource base. IncludesClimate Change. New Mexico State University

  11. Global Food Security and Hunger contains the KAs dealing with: Animal and plant genetics/genomics, reproduction, nutrition, physiology, health, quality, stresses, and management activities, which lead to improved varieties and management techniques for New Mexico producers Health and protection of plants and animals in production agriculture. New Mexico State University

  12. Food Safety incorporates the KAs dealing with: New and improved food products and processing techniques, quality maintenance, and protection from pathogens. New Mexico State University

  13. ACES Strategic Theme: Community and Economic Development • Agricultural Markets, Trade, and Economic/Business Development New Mexico State University

  14. ACES Strategic Theme: Human Capital • Health and Wellbeing (includes childhood obesity prevention) • 4-H and Youth Development New Mexico State University

  15. How I gather accomplishments information Get accountability information from AES and CES faculty at performance evaluation time. Search NIMSS for multistate and integrated projects. Look for joint AES/CES appointments to identify additional integrated activities. New Mexico State University
