The Agriculture and Food Research Initiative’s (AFRI) Foundational and Applied Science Request for Applications solicits proposals for the six AFRI priority areas.
The goal of the Foundational and Applied Science program is to invest in agricultural production research, education, and extension projects for more sustainable, productive, and economically viable plant and animal production systems.
NIFA is offering technical assistance webinars to help prospective applicants better understand the program area priorities within the RFA and how to apply.
