The Research Facilities Act Program (RFAP) is a grant opportunity offered by the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture. The program provides financial assistance to qualifying institutions, such as 1862 and 1890 Land-Grant institutions, to construct, alter, acquire, modernize, renovate, or remodel agricultural research facilities to conduct research in food and agricultural sciences. Key requirements include enhancing the institution's long-term research impact, providing a 1:1 non-federal cash match, and submitting proposals by the April 4, 2024 deadline. NIFA will evaluate applications based on criteria such as significance, long-term impact, feasibility, and fundraising plans.
The total funding available for FY 2024 is approximately $1.9 million, with individual project awards ranging from $150,000 to $750,000. The proposed agricultural research facility must be located at the applicant institution.
