FEDERAL GRANT AWARD SUMMARY The University of Hawaii at Manoa received a $600,000 project grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310), awarded September 1, 2026, with completion scheduled for August 31, 2030.
