New Era Rural Technology Competitive Grants Program (RTP)
The Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, Public Law 112-55, did not provide funding for the New Era Rural Technology Competitive Grants Program (RTP) in FY 2012. As a result, NIFA will not offer the RTP funding opportunity in FY 2012. The FY 2011 request for application is available for informational purposes ONLY. The New Era Rural Technology Competitive Grants Program will make grants available to community colleges or advanced technological centers, located in a rural area, for technology development, applied research, and training necessary to produce graduates capable of strengthening the Nation's technical, scientific and professional workforce in the fields of bioenergy, pulp and paper manufacturing, and agriculture-based renewable energy resources. (Note: see definitions of these terms in Part VIII. E., of the Request for Applications (RFA) document to ensure eligibility).
