Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NIFA TCRGP 006224
The Tribal Colleges Research Grants Program (TCRGP) is a competitive grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA). It is intended specifically to strengthen the research capacity of Tribal Colleges and Universities that hold 1994 Land-Grant Institution status. The core purpose is to help these institutions build and expand their ability to conduct applied research projects that both support student educational needs and deliver practical solutions to issues affecting Tribal communities, including challenges at the community, reservation, or broader regional level.
Funding is provided as a discretionary grant under CFDA 10.227, and awards are made through a competitive peer review process rather than by formula allocation. Projects may be proposed in any discipline within the food and agricultural sciences, which gives applicants flexibility to address a wide range of topics such as agriculture, natural resources, nutrition, food systems, environmental stewardship, and related applied sciences, as long as the work aligns with the program’s emphasis on applied outcomes and capacity-building at the institution.
A central requirement of the program is collaboration with an 1862 or 1890 Land-Grant Institution. This partnership requirement is meant to connect 1994 institutions with established land-grant research and extension ecosystems, strengthen project implementation, and support mentoring, shared expertise, or joint research activities. In practice, proposals are expected to reflect a real partnership that contributes to the project’s research goals and to the longer-term development of the 1994 institution’s research infrastructure and experience.
Eligibility is limited to Tribal Colleges and Universities formally designated as 1994 Institutions under the Equity in Educational Land-Grant Status Act of 1994 (7 U.S.C. 301 note, as amended). No other applicant types are eligible to submit applications under this opportunity. The funding opportunity is identified as USDA NIFA TCRGP 006224, with an original closing date of March 28, 2017, and it listed an award ceiling of $220,000.Apply for USDA NIFA TCRGP 006224
