General Research Guidelines
The purpose of the station is to generate objective research-based information that will be made available to cranberry growers and associated industries to optimize and advance cranberry production. Generally, criteria of objectivity for this research should include:
-
Replication in a manner that allows for the application of sound statistical analyses.
-
Balance and comprehensiveness so as to include a range of options for growers.
-
No generation of endorsements that benefit a single entity.
Land and facility use will be prioritized by the Research Station Advisory Committee. Parameters to be considered in this prioritization include, but are not limited to:
-
Potential benefit to the cranberry growers, industry, surrounding community and environment.
-
Availability of objective expertise and adequate funding to complete the project.
-
Consideration of potential negative impacts of the research on the Station itself or salability of the cranberries.
