The Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded Langston University $7.963 million on October 1, 2025, under the Payments to 1890 Land-Grant Colleges and Tuskegee University program (CFDA 10.205) to support Evans-Allen research projects in agricultural sciences and related fields through September 30, 2027.

Langston University allocated the funding across sixteen individual Evans-Allen research projects spanning animal science, animal products, plant science (including horticulture and biotechnology), aquaculture, and agribusiness. The research program identifies contemporary and emerging agricultural challenges at local, state, national, and international levels, explores solutions, and generates tangible results to improve agricultural methodologies and products while enhancing the wellbeing and quality of life for communities. Programs and methods of delivery address the needs of households, businesses, and entire populations throughout Oklahoma in both rural and urban areas.
