Multicultural Alliances
Science and Education Resources Development
Launched in 1990, the 1890 Institution Teaching and Research
Capacity Building Grants Program is administered by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) Multicultural Alliances unit under the authority contained
in section 1417 (b)(4) of the National Agricultural Research, Extension, and
Teaching Policy Act of 1977, as amended (7 U.S.C. 3152 (b)(4)). This program is intended to strengthen
teaching and research programs in the food and agricultural sciences by
building the institutional capacities of the 1890 Land-Grant Institutions and
The Capacity Building Grants Program is designed to achieve
three major goals: (1) to strengthen
linkages among the 1890 institutions, other colleges and universities, USDA,
and private industry; (2) to advance cultural diversity of the food and
agricultural scientific and professional work force by attracting and educating
more students from underrepresented groups; and (3) to enhance the quality of
teaching and research programs at the 1890 institutions to more readily
establish them as full partners in the
Applications may be submitted only by the 1890 Land-Grant
Institutions, including
This Capacity Building Grants Program is competitive in nature and provides support to the 1890s for teaching and research projects in targeted high-priority areas. It encourages matching support from non-Federal sources and also requires cooperation with one or more USDA agency (ies) in developing a proposal and carrying out a project, thereby strengthening departmental partnerships and linkages with these important minority institutions.
Teaching projects should address one or more of the following targeted need areas:
(a) curricula design and materials development; (b) faculty
preparation and enhancement for teaching; (c) instruction delivery systems; (d)
student experiential learning; (e) scientific instrumentation for teaching; and
(f) student recruitment and retention within the fields of agriculture, natural
resources, forestry, veterinary medicine, family and consumer sciences, and
closely allied disciplines. Research
projects should address one or more of the following targeted need areas: (a)
studies and experimentation in the food and agricultural sciences; (b)
establishment of centralized research support systems; and (c) development of
improved technology delivery systems for producers and consumers in the food
and agricultural sciences network.
Now in its sixteenth year, the Capacity Building Grants
Program has achieved notable success and is attributed priority status by the
USDA 1890 Task Force appointed by the Secretary of Agriculture. Since 1990, the Program has awarded
approximately $142 million to the 1890 Institutions and
Funded projects are well underway at all of the recipient institutions. Teaching projects are addressing innovative student recruitment, educational delivery systems, and curricula enhancement strategies in such areas as agribusiness management and marketing, regulatory sciences, plant and soil sciences, and veterinary science. Research projects are focusing on such areas as biotechnology, human nutrition, aquaculture, plant science, and animal science.
To ensure the highest quality of
management in carrying out the Capacity Building Grants Program, a full-time
National Program Leader within the Multicultural Alliances unit is assigned to
manage the program. The incumbent serves as a member of the Executive Team of
the USDA/1890 Task Force. Additionally,
the National Program Leader is readily available to interact with
representatives appointed by different USDA agencies to work with the 1890
Institutions and
FY 2005 Program
In FY 2005, $12,311,712 was appropriated for this program. A total of 17 institutions from 17 states submitted 185 proposals (131 research and 54 teaching) requesting $50 million. In May 2005, a 57-member peer review panel evaluated these proposals. The peer review panel included faculty and administrators from land grant and non-land grant colleges and universities as well as research scientists from USDA agencies who possess outstanding expertise in the food and agricultural sciences and comprehensive knowledge of the 1890 university system.
Of the $11,318,528 available for project grants, $5,689,126 were awarded to support 26 teaching projects and $5,629,402 were awarded to support 18 research projects. Awards were made to 16 1890 institutions in 15 states. Six USDA agencies will serve as cooperators on the 44 funded projects.
Note:
In FY 2005, the available grant funds were allocated as follows:
1) Targeted priorities addressing issues of human nutrition and obesity, food safety, and agricultural bio-security; 2) Multi-university collaborations; and 3) General pool projects.
