Food and Agricultural Sciences National Needs Graduate and Postgraduate Fellowship Grants Program

NIFA’s Food and Agricultural Sciences National Needs Graduate and Postgraduate Fellowship (NNF) program supports training students for master's and doctoral degrees in food, agricultural and natural resource sciences; and Special International Study or Thesis/Dissertation Research Travel Allowances (IRTA) for eligible USDA NNF beneficiaries. NNF awards are specifically intended to support traineeship programs that engage outstanding students to pursue and complete degrees in the food and agricultural sciences. NNF awards invest in graduate training and relevant international experiential learning for diverse individuals who demonstrate their potential to successfully complete graduate degree programs in disciplines relevant to the mission of the USDA.

NIFA’s mission is to invest in and advance agricultural research, education, and extension to solve societal challenges. NIFA’s investments in transformative science directly support the long-term prosperity and global preeminence of U.S. agriculture.
