Global Engagement Grant Opportunities
NIFA's Center for International Programs works
with NIFA's four institutes to develop global engagement opportunities in NIFA
programs to advance U.S. food and agriculture. The newly created Grant Opportunities for Global Engagement webpage provides
a comprehensive list of Request for Applications (RFAs) and their associated
international offerings in a simple format for potential applicants to peruse.
These opportunities can help increase the global competitiveness of
U.S. university faculty and students, and U.S. agricultural producers; leverage
international resources through scientific collaborations; and promote U.S.
leadership in global food and agricultural systems.
Six Minute Seminars
NIFA supports research,
education, and extension in the U.S. addressing important issues in
agriculture, many of which have global relevance. Through the newly established
Six Minute
Seminars webpage, learn from faculty, researchers, and extension
professionals at U.S. institutions about how their NIFA-supported science is
yielding globally relevant approaches, solutions, technologies.
Please check out the first video
from the University of the District of Columbia, College of Agriculture, Urban
Sustainability, and Environmental Sciences.

International Partnership Videos
NIFA's Center for
International Programs (CIP) recognizes the benefits to U.S. agriculture from
international cooperation. CIP facilitates linkages between NIFA-funded
scientists at U.S. institutions with scientists supported by other countries
who, as partners, apply their expertise and resources to address problems of
mutual concern, helping us to achieve greater impact here at home as well as
globally.
On our newly established International
Partnership Videos webpage, researchers briefly share what they are
doing, why it is important, and what international collaboration is enabling
them to achieve. Please check out the first three videos from Cornell
University, Iowa State
University, and Kansas State
University.

Global Engagement Profiles
In order to better
understand and represent the international interests of universities and
colleges, NIFA's Center for International Programs (CIP) will soon be sending
out our annual invitations to International Ag. Directors at land-grant
institutions as well as other interested universities and colleges with
agriculture programs to share information with us on their international
activities.
The information shared with
us will be useful when we connect with colleagues in the USDA Foreign
Agricultural Service and the U.S. Agency for International Development who are
looking for institutional knowledge of interests and activities. It will also
enable us to better look out for and provide information on international
opportunities that could be of interest to you. Finally, these global
engagement profiles will also enable CIP to identify regions of the world and
issues of potential common interest among institutions.
