Colleagues:

NIFA held two webinars June 30 and July 7 on Capacity Programs which represents nearly half of NIFA's budget. It is imperative for us, in collaboration with you to develop an evidence-based analysis of the value and return on investment of these programs.The purpose of the webinar series was to introduce the study to you. We welcome additional feedback and questions regarding this important effort. 

If you were unable to attend, go to the June 30 recording to view at your convenience. Please submit your responses to capacityeval@nifa.usda.gov by September 1.

Your engagement in the data collection discussion is a key to making the evaluation a success. We need to hear your feedback and concerns. Most importantly, this effort will enable all of us to showcase to the taxpayers and the public the amazing impacts these programs make on the food, agriculture, natural resources, and human sciences enterprise in our nation.
