S.

agriculture.

Of particular interest is research on (1) estimates of supply curves of greenhouse gas reductions from U.

S.

agriculture, (2) the integrity of agricultural greenhouse gas reductions procured through markets, including provisions designed to enhance this integrity; and (3) the role of non-neoclassical behavior in the provision of agricultural greenhouse gas reductions through markets.

ERS will accept proposals under this program for funding levels of up to $150,000 for a period not to exceed 3 years.

Total funding available for this research is approximately $500,00 0.
