To achieve sustainable genetic improvements of agricultural species, the expertise of a broad community of agricultural researchers must be engaged from both crop and livestock communities. This includes integrative disciplines such as biology, statistics, as well as computer, data and engineering sciences. The objective of the Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI) is to assemble and prepare a transdisciplinary community to conduct AG2P research. To accomplish this, AG2PI seeks to engage a broad and diverse researcher community through Conferences, Field Days, Training workshops, and Seed grants. AG2PI activities are funded by USDA-NIFA award 2020-70412-32615. In this presentation we will provide an overview of AG2PI and highlight examples and opportunities to participate in AG2PI funded activities. Furthermore, we welcome community input and will use these comments to improve and expand AG2PI activities.
