Outputs Target Audience: The immediate target audience consisted of representative barley growers, food processors, malt processors, seed producers and researchers. The target audience was engaged from the outset in developing the planning grant concept, as evidenced from the letters of support. A subset of these stakeholders were engaged in the planning grant and were instrumental in developing the plan for continued stakeholder involvement. The participation of outreach specialists was essential in establishing and maintaining target audience involvement. Changes/Problems:

What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?The session itself provided an on opportunity for training and professional development of all participants via the extensive networking, discussion, and brainstorming. The full proposal will fund a post-doc at OSU (the lead institution) and graduate students at collaborating institutions. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?The full proposal led to the formation of a stake-holder advisory committee and extensive national linkages among scientists, farmers, processors, and end-users. These cross-disciplinary and trans-geographic networks will, and have, led to the dissemination of knowledge of, and enthusiasm for, naked barley for organic systems. The concept and execution of the NIFA-OREI supported project will be the focus of an invited chapter in Plant Breeding Reviews - to be published in 2018. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?

Impacts What was accomplished under these goals?
The Planning Grant session was held in Portland, Oregon November 30 - December 1. The session was attended by 24 scientists and stakeholders. The significant outcomes of the Planning Grant were those proposed: a successful, funded full proposal; an accepted invitation to prepare a chapter for Plant Breeding Reviews on the development of naked multi-use organic barley; and the development of a national network committed to strengthening organic agriculture through naked multi-use barley. Additional relevant details are as follows: The participating scientists included private consultants (economics and malting), Land Grant University scientists (plant breeders, a cereal chemist, and an animal nutritionist). Industry participants included farmers, members of the seed industry, bakers, maltsters, processors, and brewers. Outreach and Extension personnel represented each of the participating states. On day 1, all provided 15 minute presentations, followed by extensive discussion. On day 2, there was continued discussion, formulation of an action plan, and assignment of responsibilities for preparation of the full proposal
