the
2019
Annual Conference to be held in Seattle WA from October

to any food
distribution area from the
farm gate through retail to
the consumer is
welcome at FDRS.
For more information
on
the conference,
check under “Conferences” at the FDRS website http://www.fdrsinc.org. Address and Questions & Correspondence regarding research submissions
to Research co-VPs Dawn Thilmany and Lurleen Walters at the email: FDRSVPresearch@gmail.com
Research Reports are
scholarly
papers
focusing on the results of research efforts. Reports will
be
evaluated and accepted on the
basis
of one-page abstracts that
describe the
research and its relevance to
food
distribution issues. Conference
presentations of research reports are limited
to 20 minutes each.
Research Updates are synopses
of research or educational work either (1) recently completed, (2) in progress, or (3) to be undertaken
within the next year. To
give an
update, submit
a maximum one-page description of
the
update. Presentations of
updates will be limited
to
15 minutes each.
Outreach Writing is
a relatively new
category for the conference. We seek to recognize the
kinds
of
technical communication
of
food industry issues that is
key
to the Extension/Industry Outreach work
done by the Society’s founders and is core to many
members’
work today. Some call these articles “industry outlook” or it may
be
something contributed
to publications such as Choices …materials that
communicate
food
supply
chain and marketing issues to
an
intelligent, highly-involved but
non-academic audience. Submissions will
consist of
the actual article
and the submission form. At the conference,
the
author will have 15 minutes to present a summary of
the
article’s key
points and how it
was
used in outreach/Extension efforts.
Email submissions
to
Dawn Thilmany and Lurleen Walters, at FDRSVPresearch@gmail.com, by July 1, 2019. Authors will
be
notified of acceptance
by July 31,
2019.
