Government organizations consist of Federal, State, and local agencies; and state universities.
Private organizations include non-profit trade associations, private universities, agricultural cooperatives, state regional trade groups (SRTG), profit-making entities, and consulting businesses.
Proposals from research and consulting organizations will be considered if they provide evidence of substantial participation in and financial support from the U. S. industry.

Foreign organizations, whether government or private, may participate as third parties in activities carried out by U. S. organizations, but are not eligible for funding assistance from the program.
