Federal Grant Award Summary Texas A&M AgriLife Research received a $297,712 project grant award 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), effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027. This award supports an integrated research and extension project addressing flood resilience in the Texas Hill Country following the July 4, 2025 flooding event. The project delivers spatial analysis identifying private working lands—including grasslands, rangelands, and agricultural lands—with high flood mitigation potential and vulnerability to post-disaster conversion. Research outputs include a comprehensive landowner survey assessing values, perceptions, and barriers to conservation of these insulating agroecosystems. The extension and outreach components translate research findings into actionable tools and community engagement products, including community workshops, a decision-support toolkit for flood recovery planning, and train-the-trainer workshops designed to build local resilience capacity. The interdisciplinary team, drawing expertise in human dimensions, land management, governance, spatial ecology, and community engagement, partners with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension and regional stakeholders to develop science-based guidance that supports flood recovery, informs conservation investments, and ensures post-disaster recovery reinforces natural infrastructure protecting rural communities.
