爱荷华州立大学爱荷华州大豆研究中心（ISRC）于2014年6月经爱荷华州董事会批准成立。ISRC与爱荷华州大豆协会，行业领导者，农民和爱荷华州立大学的研究人员合作。这项合作努力的目标是确定和资助大豆生产和保护领域的研究。ISRC致力于加强爱荷华州立大学，爱荷华州大豆协会，行业和农民之间的合作，协调和整合，以使爱荷华州的大豆相关活动与爱荷华州大豆农民和支持作物生产的行业的需求保持一致。

该中心涉及并帮助协调在爱荷华州立大学和爱荷华州大豆协会的大豆生物学，育种，经济学，精准农业，生产和害虫管理领域工作的教职员工的研究，教学和推广活动。

ISRC的财政支持来自爱荷华州立大学农业与生命科学学院，爱荷华州大豆协会和行业合作伙伴。资助决策由中心的管理团队根据行业咨询委员会的指导做出。在2015年至2019年的头五年中，该中心资助了爱荷华州立大学11名教职员工进行的100万美元的研究。ISRC资助传统和多学科问题解决研究，其中有时包括机器学习和人工智能工具，以加速和加强工作。具体的研究领域由中心的行业咨询委员会确定。爱荷华州大豆种植者，行业合作伙伴和爱荷华州大豆协会在该中心的行业咨询委员会中有代表。该委员会就研究需求提供意见，包括确定新的研究领域、研究差距以及扩展和建立现有研究的机会。

Iowa State University's Iowa Soy Research Center (ISRC) was established in June 2014 with approval from the Iowa Board of Directors. ISRC collaborates with the Iowa Soybean Association, industry leaders, farmers and researchers at Iowa State University. The goal of this collaborative effort is to identify and fund research in the field of soybean production and conservation. ISRC is committed to strengthening collaboration, coordination, and integration between Iowa State University, the Iowa Soybean Association, industry, and farmers to align Iowa's soy-related activities with the needs of Iowa soybean farmers and industries that support crop production.

The center involves and helps coordinate research, teaching, and extension activities for faculty and staff working in the fields of soybean biology, breeding, economics, precision agriculture, production, and pest management at Iowa State University and the Iowa Soybean Society.

Financial support from ISRC comes from Iowa State University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the Iowa Soybean Association and industry partners. Funding decisions are made by the Centre's management team under the guidance of the Industry Advisory Committee. In the first five years from 2015 to 2019, the center funded $1 million in research conducted by 11 faculty members at Iowa State University. ISRC funds traditional and multidisciplinary problem-solving research, which sometimes includes machine learning and artificial intelligence tools, to accelerate and enhance work. Specific areas of study are determined by the Centre's Industry Advisory Committee. Iowa soybean growers, industry partners and the Iowa Soybean Association are represented on the center's industry advisory board. The committee advises on research needs, including identifying new areas of research, research gaps, and opportunities to expand and build on existing research.
