The federal Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA-NIFA) in the amount of $229,926 will support the University of Florida's Nonprofit & Advocacy Lab to prepare undergraduate students for leadership roles in food and agricultural nonprofit organizations. The project, funded through the Higher Education - Multicultural Scholars Grant Program (CFDA 10.220), aims to bridge food and agricultural sciences with leadership and management training. Over 5 years, the program will provide mentoring, methodological training, and hands-on internships for students, with a focus on supporting underrepresented minorities in applying to graduate programs. The award will enable the lab to deliver this comprehensive training and career development program for the next generation of diverse leaders in the food and agricultural nonprofit sector.
