GAATA sessions are 90-minute virtual workshops where NIFA staff discusses a focused topic related to grants development and management. The target audience is prospective applicants and grantees/ grantee institutions.
Offered quarterly, NIFA’s GAATA sessions are intended to enhance both the accessibility and effectiveness of NIFA’s programs.
In these workshops, NIFA staff first address pre-submitted questions. Participants then get the opportunity to ask questions. Using an online Q&A feature, participants are able to ask questions anonymously. We encourage you to submit topics for future GAATA sessions.
If you have any questions or concerns, please email AdminOpsTeam.NIFA@usda.gov. Please visit each session page for access to shared resources.
