Project Grant 20246701942514
- This $1.5 million Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) will fund the development and delivery of a national climate change adaptation training program for agricultural extension professionals. Awarded under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program (AFRI, CFDA No. 10.310), the funding will support Washington State University in scaling up a pilot climate analog training program into a...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $650,000 and awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) through the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, aims to empirically assess the importance and sustainability of adaptive irrigation under climate change. The three key objectives are: 1) estimating the link between extreme heat and adaptive irrigation, 2) predicting groundwater stock dynamics under climate change, and 3) analyzing...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $180,000.00, was issued by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The grant funds a 3-year study at Portland State University that explores how "hydrosocial imaginaries" - the political, cultural, and social beliefs and practices that influence water use - affect water conflict, governance, and collaboration in the context of drought, climate...
- This $650,000 federal Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports research to develop a publicly accessible toolkit for climate impact assessments on agriculture. The key products and services to be delivered include: Evaluating the bias of current methods for modeling climate change impacts, 2) Proposing robust and data-driven estimators to model heterogeneity in climate damage functions, 3)...
- This $527,360 Project Grant awarded by the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) through the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will fund research to support evidence-based policymaking for agricultural water conservation. The key objectives of the 3-year project include: 1) collecting irrigation water rights and runoff data to create a geospatial database, 2) exploring the impact of water rights and supply uncertainty on...
- This $229,934 Project Grant from the US Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will support the development of improved computational tools to predict how soil quality, vegetation, and water availability respond to changing soil characteristics resulting from climate change-driven shifts in precipitation patterns. Awarded to Boise State University on March 1, 2021 for a four-year period concluding on February...
- Washington State University will receive $499,962 under a five-year Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture to develop an experiential learning and training program focused on crop resiliency to heat and drought. The grant, awarded under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program, will support establishment of a summer internship program engaging ten undergraduate students annually in...
- This $180,000 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports research by the Regents of the University of California at Riverside to identify and re-engineer genes involved in environmental stress tolerance in plants. The goal is to cultivate higher-yielding, climate-resilient crop varieties that can sustainably meet the food demands of a growing...
- Texas A&M Agrilife Research was awarded a $649,976 project grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program. The grant aims to characterize water scarcity adaptation behavior in the western U.S. irrigated agricultural sector through empirical modeling of water delivery organization decisions, individual producer adaptation decisions, and the relationship between...
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded a $740,000 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to Colorado State University (CSU) to develop and pilot an integrated software technology to help agricultural producers make smart irrigation water and nutrient management choices. The project aims to improve crop yield, conserve water, and enhance water quality by assimilating interconnected soil moisture,...
This Project Grant award of $649,982 was provided by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) CFDA program. The award supports research by Washington State University to advance climate change impact assessments for irrigated agricultural systems in the Columbia River Basin. The key objectives are to: (i) characterize future regional agricultural water demands, including demands for extreme temperature management; (ii) assess the impacts of this additional demand on agricultural and environmental water availability and shortages; and (iii) explore adaptation strategies to address the demand and ensure sustainable outcomes for both crop production and environmental flows. This work aims to enhance the ability to identify climate adaptation alternatives that protect food security, agricultural economies, and instream environmental flows. The project will run from September 2024 through August 2027.
