The Cotton Research & Promotion Program is charged with improving the demand for and profitability of cotton through research and promotion. The Program is administered by the Cotton Board, conducted by Cotton Incorporated and governed by the USDA.
The Program is funded entirely by assessments levied on U.S. cotton producers and importers of cotton and cotton products. The Federal Agriculture Improvement And Reform Act of 1996 requires that all check-off programs conduct an independent review of their program every five years to evaluate the effectiveness of the promotion program.
The Cotton Research & Promotion Act established the Cotton Board as a quasi-governmental, non-profit entity to serve as the administrator of the Cotton Research & Promotion Program. Funded by America's cotton producers and importers through the cotton check-off, the Program's research and promotion activities are conducted worldwide by Cotton Incorporated, the Cotton Board's sole-source contracting organization, to increase the demand for and improve the market position of cotton.
