The National Institute of Food and Agriculture, more typically referred to as NIFA, is a United States federal government agency operating under the Department of Agriculture that is essentially responsible for consolidating all federally-funded agricultural research studies.
The establishment of NIFA was mandated under the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 in an effort to initiate and enable technological developments that have the potential to boost American agriculture, therefore make it more profitable, environmentally sustainable, and economically viable.
As agreed by this mission, the National Institute of Food and Agriculture has recently constituted the Higher Education Challenge Grants Program in an attempt to boost and improve the quality of formal, postsecondary-level agricultural sciences education.
The projects that'll be funded under this program are the ones that mean to work towards guaranteeing a good, qualified, and diverse system that would be beneficial to the food and agricultural sciences industry.
From that perspective, the National Institute of Food and Agriculture also wants the proposed projects to attain the following goals:
a) Substantially increase the number of students who are willing to pursue and complete a postsecondary degree in the food and agricultural sciences.
b) Excite and encourage research studies in areas that will make a contribution to any of the NIFA Priority Areas.
c) Improve the standard of secondary and postsecondary instruction in an attempt to help in attaining the present and future needs of national food and agricultural sciences offices.
Additionally, NIFA has stated that all the projects that will be financed under this program should concentrate on improving the quality of academic instruction in the postsecondary education system, which should hopefully result in the recruitment of a bigger number of qualified and varied graduates.
In order to financially support these projects, NIFA is set to administer a total funding amount of $4,770,000 to multiple grant awardees.
The institutions and setups who will be judged eligible to submit an application under the Higher Education Challenge Grants Program are the following:
a) United States public or private non-profit colleges and universities that are offering a baccalaureate or first professional degree in at least one discipline or area of the food and agricultural sciences;
b) Land-grant schools and universities
c) Universities and schools who are having significant minority enrollments as well as sufficient capacity to carry out the teaching of food and agricultural sciences;
d) Any other college & university who manifest a reputable capacity to carry out the teaching of food and agricultural sciences.
