Workshops allow the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) to periodically update the vision and rationale of each National Program and assess the relevancy, effectiveness, and responsiveness of ARS research. The National Program Staff (NPS) at ARS organizes National Program Workshops to facilitate the review and simultaneously provide an opportunity for customers, stakeholders, and partners to assess the progress made through the National Program and provide input for future modifications to the National Program or the National Program’s research agenda. A workshop for Animal Health has been scheduled for October 2004, Greensboro, North Carolina. This report provides the accomplishments for the 2000-2004 National Program Cycle. You will find detailed information on research objectives, achievements, and impact. Results are provided according to location. Comments and assessments should be addressed to mailto:[email protected] prior to October 2004. Leading America towards a better future through agricultural research and information.
