2022 ANNUAL REPORT (6 MB pdf)
The Hardwood Tree Improvement & Regeneration Center continues to advance the research, teaching and Extension priorities outlined in our current strategic plan. Through our project-based funding model, we have supported 18 projects, including two new ones. In this annual report, we share progress reports on projects already underway and summaries of the newly funded projects,
which our executive committee selected. A special thanks goes to the committee members for their vision and continued leadership and engagement. These research projects directly serve our strategic research objectives and also reflect our commitment to serving the needs of our stakeholders. We continue to support graduate students through our project-based funding model.
Last year funds from the Fred M. van Eck Forestry Foundation for Purdue University were used to support nine HTIRC master’s students, nine PhD students, five postdocs, six undergraduate research technicians and one high school student over the summer.
