This overview is designed as a tool to help prospective USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) grantees develop complete and accurate application packages.
These tips for success in grant writing and application development have been carefully crafted to help applicants in structuring their application packages.

Information in the funding legislation and the RFA have precedence to what is included in this overview.
