The Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy is a science and technology-based framework to assess and reduce nutrients to Iowa waters and the Gulf of Mexico. It identifies practices that farmers can implement to lower the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus running off of their farmland.
In order to make the best decisions about how to use these practices on their land, farmers need to know the costs associated with each practice.
The Nutritional Sciences Council (NSC) has been in existence since the early 1950s and is composed of nutritional scientists at Iowa State University.

Graduate fellowship and assistantship stipends are available.
Our Theoretical Condensed Matter Research Group is based at the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Iowa State University, and embedded in the lively condensed matter research environment of Iowa State University and the Ames Laboratory. We investigate non-equilibrium dynamics of strongly correlated quantum materials and the effects of competing interactions and emergent order on the electronic properties of solids. To approach these questions we employ a combination of analytical and numerical techniques from field-theory and statistical mechanics.
Last year more than 1 million people directly benefited from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach programs.
The People in Ecosystems/Watershed Integration (PEWI) tool is a simple web-based educational game designed to assist people in multidimensional land-use decision making. PEWI is an open-source project that can be utilized in classrooms and by land-managers or resource professionals to explore how different land cover types and configurations result in trade-offs in ecosystem services.
Our research in the insect toxicology area is focused primarily on plant-derived products that have insecticidal, insect repellent, or antifeedant properties.
The Interdepartmental Plant Biology (IPB), previously Interdepartmental Plant Physiology Major (IPPM), educates scientists in basic plant biology, including but not limiting to plant molecular biology, plant cell biology, plant physiology, and plant organismal biology and provides training in the most state of the art methods and technologies. Graduate study in IPB, leading to the M.S. and Ph.D.
To help meet the challenge of protecting pollinators, several faculty and staff at Iowa State University (ISU) and the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship formed the Iowa Pollinator Conservation Working Group (IPCWG) in 2013. This group reflects a partnership with colleagues and stakeholders from across the state. Members include scientists and educators with a focus on pest management, and members studying novel ways to conserve pollinators and other insects within an agricultural landscape.
Dr. Pritchard has a shared appointment with ISU's Department of Natural Resources Ecology and Management, and the Department of Landscape Architecture. He is an Adjunct Associate Professor for both departments.
James Pritchard teaches "Introduction to Renewable Resources," as well as courses in Natural Resource Policy, History, and Philosophy. As an environmental historian, he specializes in the history of our national parks, and the history of wildlife conservation & wildlife science.

The Professional Development Unit directly supports Iowa State University Extension and Outreach’s strategic plan with an overall purpose of aligning professional skills with organizational needs by conceptualizing, designing, and presenting development opportunities that will motivate, challenge, strengthen, and enlighten county and campus-paid staff, faculty and elected council officials.
Question Keeper is a database of survey questions that allows you to build your own evaluation questionnaire.
This is a web site to coordinate observations of butterflies in the genus Vanessa, including Vanessa atalanta, V. cardui, V. virginiensis, V. annabella, V. tameamea, and V. kershawi. (Red Admiral, Painted Lady, American Lady, West Coast Lady, Kamehameha Butterfly, and Australian Painted Lady).
Research IT picks up where traditional desktop support ends and collaborates with researchers to resolve complex technology hurdles focusing on solving difficult computational and scalability problems
What we do: investigate and understand the molecular mechanisms underlying biological processes as explained by the principles of chemistry and physics.
The overall mission of the Department of Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Molecular Biology (BBMB) is to investigate and understand the molecular mechanisms underlying biological processes as explained by the principles of chemistry and physics.
Members of the Microbiology Lab are interested in the interaction of eukaryotes and bacteria; these interactions have spanned model eukaryote and bacterial symbiont systems on the one hand to the spectacular complexity of microbiomes of farm animals on the other hand.
Students work closely with faculty and staff on a specific project, gaining hands-on experience relevant to their chosen career path while receiving academic credit and money for the work.
The Seed Science Center at Iowa State University is a center of excellence nationally and internationally in seed research, education, technology transfer, and international seed programs. It provides a focus for teaching, research, and extension programs on seed in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and it is a global leader in introducing science into policy to benefit world seed trade.
SeriolaDB is a website designed as a centralized knowledge base for Seriola researchers and producers. It contains genomics, genetics, breeding and phenotypic data along with protocols and tools to translate this information in to practical applications for culture activities.
Small family farms make up about 80% of all farms in Iowa.
SMART is a software package to study complex discrete-state systems.
Microscopic worms burrowing through cells, injecting foreign compounds through hypodermic-needle-like mouthparts, altering the basic biology of the cells on which they feed.
The Soybean Entomology Lab is a diverse group of field entomologists, and combines research and extension programs from Drs. O'Neal and Hodgson. Together, they conduct studies to understand more about landscape ecology and IPM.
The State Science + Technology Fair of Iowa is OPEN to ANY student (grades 6-12) residing in or attending school (public, private, parochial and home school) in the state of Iowa. At this time there is NO qualifier fair (local, conference, district or regional) required for participation!
The Strengthening Families Program: For Parents and Youth 10-14 has made a difference in thousands of families in all 50 states and in over 25 countries.

Research in the Baum lab focuses on the compatible interaction between cyst nematodes and their hosts with particular emphasis on the soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines) and the sugar beet cyst nematode (H. schachtii). To a smaller extent, some projects are dealing with the root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp. This group of so-called sedentary endoparasitic phytonematodes represents the most damaging group of plant-parasitic nematode and is responsible for billions of annual losses.
We study People, Land Use and Society (PLUS). The PLUS lab is directed by Dr. John Tyndall, a natural resource economist and social scientist with broad interests in environmental and natural resource economics, policy and sociology within forestry and agriculture.
The field of genetics studies heredity at various levels from molecules to populations, and seeks to discover the molecular basis of heritable biological traits. As a science, genetics occupies a pivotal position in modern biology; its understanding is essential for any serious student of life sciences. Outside of academia, genetics touches many everyday aspects of human life. The food we eat and the clothes we wear come from the organisms modified by methodical application of standard genetic principles.
