Research Programmes

Ireland is striving to create a world-class research system that drives innovation and economic success. DAFF plays an important role in this vision for the Agri-Food sector, via the publicly funded agri-food research programmes that are in place. The three primary public good research programmes run by DAFF are the Food Institutional Research Measure (FIRM), and the Research Stimulus Fund (RSF) and the programme of Competitive Forestry Research for Development (COFORD). Side by side with national research programmes, DAFF also provides the National Contact Point and National Delegate for the EU 7th Framework Research Programme who facilitate increased participation of Irish researchers in first-class, international research.
