The 1890 Capacity Building Grants (CBG) program strengthens teaching, research and Extension programs in the food and agricultural sciences by building the institutional capacities of the 1890 Land-grant Institutions, including Tuskegee University, West Virginia State University and Central State University. The CBG program supports projects that strengthen teaching programs in the food and agricultural sciences through curriculum design and materials development, faculty development, Extension program development support systems and others. This initiative will increase and strengthen food and agriculture sciences at the 1890s by integrating education, research and Extension. CBG applications must address at least one of the following NIFA strategic goals: sustainable bioenergy, food security, childhood obesity prevention or food safety. Deadline for applications is May 8. For more information, read the 1890 CBG program funding opportunity.

NIFA is building a better future by nurturing innovation in the food and agricultural sciences and cultivating equitable change in communities across the nation. Through investment in science as a solution to our greatest challenges, USDA NIFA collaborates with partners to drive research, education and Extension — improving lives, supporting livelihoods and sustaining the planet.
