The primary
activities focus on the mission:
 The
exploration of new opportunities for rendered animal products,
administering to the conduct of the research projects that support
new or improved application opportunities and the dissemination of
the information resulting from the research. All FPRF members are
provided with semi- annual technical findings and research results
from each of the projects until final reports are available. Each
member has the discretionary opportunity to utilize the results for
individual company application, marketing programs, and further
communication with product end users consistent with research
integrity.
Special Seminars and presentations are frequent at the
semi-annual Board of Directors and committee meetings. Additionally
seminars are held as the need surfaces. Grantees and the FPRF
President and Director of Technical Services participate as invited
presenters on numerous technical programs and scientific meetings.
Several technical and informational publications are provided to the
membership in addition to progress and final reports to include:
-
Technical Services Bulletins,
-
Directors Digest,
-
Biodiesel Annual Summary,
-
Protein Manual and Fat Manual (currently the manuals are being
revised).
The
FPRF maintains a close liaison with:
Render, a trade magazine published by NRA and the Rendering
Circles of ARA contain FPRF information on a frequent basis as does
many other publications.
