While there is a small amount of funding through the Colorado Agricultural Experi- ment Station, it is very limited. A number of universities, in- cluding CSU, have petitioned the USDA to start funding hemp research, according to Camp- bell. He said it will be years be- fore federal funding becomes available, if it ever is. “If industrial hemp research is to continue at CSU, it will be of the utmost importance to work hand in hand with collaborators at other universities and private businesses to advance mutual interests,” Campbell said.
