This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Resident Instruction Grants for Institutions of Higher Education in Insular Areas (CFDA 10.308) program aims to enhance agriculture and food science education capabilities at the University of Guam (UOG). The $200,000 award will be used to acquire critical laboratory equipment, including a biosafety cabinet, environmental chambers, and an upgraded laminar flow hood, to support plant pathology instruction and research. The funding will also enable UOG to expand and renovate its nursery facilities to accommodate plant pathology activities, other agriculture courses, and the university's Agriculture Life Science student club. These investments in infrastructure and equipment are intended to augment learning experiences for UOG's undergraduate and graduate students in the College of Natural and Applied Sciences. The project will be carried out over a 3-year period from September 2024 to September 2027.
