Utah State University received a $142,395 Project Grant from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Cooperative Extension Service (CFDA 10.500) awarded September 30, 2025, with a completion date of September 29, 2026. The award supports the development and delivery of enhanced instructor training and digital learning resources for the Youth Farm Safety Education and Certification (YFSEC) program, which addresses youth injuries and fatalities in production agriculture.

The primary deliverables include the integration of digital learning strategies into existing YFSEC curricular materials, development of instructor professional development resources, and establishment of a sustainability and advocacy model to support ongoing YFSEC programming. Expected outcomes include increased participation from both instructors and youth in YFSEC initiatives, adoption of enhanced curriculum materials, and the creation of a support network to foster positive safety culture within farming communities. The program aims to ensure that well-trained youth engaged in agricultural work alongside supervisors and co-workers can positively influence broader safety practices within their farming communities.Federal Grant Award Summary
