Conifer Translational Genomics Network - Coordinated Agricultural Project (CTGN - CAP)

» People

Team members represent five universities, the Texas Forest Service, and the United States Forest Service. We derive guidance and feedback from advisory committees: a Scientific Advisory Board, an Extension Committee, and an Education Committee (see Organization). Project evaluation for extension and education activities is provided by an independent evaluator, Dr. Michael Coe of Cedar Lake Research Group, LLC.
