NIFA’s Fiscal Year 2015 President’s Budget submission seeks funding to support programs that provide foundational knowledge, as well as on programs that will create substantial impacts by addressing critical issues facing the long-term viability of agriculture.
NIFA works with the best and brightest scientists in the United States and around the world to find innovative solutions to local and global problems. Collaboration with historically black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribal colleges, and other institutions across the Nation ensures the benefits of NIFA’s resources extend to all Americans. With an integrated approach that includes collaboration with other federal science agencies, NIFA also serves as a vital contributor to science policy decision-making.
