We welcome all individuals and groups to propose a research concept.
United States & Territories
We fund food and agriculture science that addresses large-scale challenges to develop actionable knowledge and solutions. We fund research focusing on our cross-cutting Priority Areas.
Another important aspect of our grants are the public-private partnerships. Some funding opportunities require applicants and grantees to secure matching funds. In other cases, we secure matching funds before announcing the opportunity. Please consider potential matching funders when proposing a research concept.
Our Funding & Approval Process begins with collecting broad input, includes a rigorous review process and culminates with funding the highest-quality research. Hearing from the agriculture community ensures that our research is relevant to American farmers and scientists. As such, we are interested in hearing your research concept.
Accepts proposals year-round
