About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) is seeking applications for the Open Data Framework program, which aims to develop a neutral and secure data repository for agricultural innovation. The program will create a cooperative platform where producers, universities, and nonprofit entities can store and share data to support technological progress, production efficiencies, and environmental stewardship. Applicants must submit comprehensive proposals demonstrating scientific merit, project personnel qualifications, and a detailed data management plan. The evaluation process will involve a two-part review: first, an administrative requirements check, followed by a peer-review assessment of scientific and technical merit. Proposals must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov by the application deadline of August 6, 2025.
The grant opportunity provides $958,410 for a single standard research grant with a 24-month project duration. The funded project will be expected to develop an interoperable data infrastructure that facilitates widespread participation across land-grant universities, growers, and data producers. Successful applicants will need to create digital tools, APIs, and collaborative frameworks that enhance agricultural research and development. The project will be performed at the recipient's location, with potential collaboration among various agricultural institutions and stakeholders.
Synopsis
The Open Data Framework program will build a framework needed to create a neutral and secure data repository and cooperative where producers, universities and nonprofit entities can store and share data in ways that will foster agricultural innovation and will support technological progress, production efficiencies, and environmental stewardship.
