About this program
The Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) operates the Blue Ribbon program (CFDA 10.232), which is no longer making new awards, though previously funded projects continue to report expenditures against active grant periods.
The program's original mandate was to evaluate the overall structure of research and education across public and land-grant universities to better integrate, coordinate, and assess the economic impact of their collective work. Project periods, including no-cost extensions, do not exceed five years. Grant-related records must be retained for at least three years and longer if litigation or unresolved audit findings are pending.
No recent grant opportunities are currently open under this program. The source does not provide grant award portfolio data, recent award examples, or active funding concentration. Because the program is no longer issuing new awards, pursuit of funding under this Assistance Listing is not viable. Organizations with existing Blue Ribbon grants should continue to comply with record-retention and reporting requirements outlined in the Award document Form NIFA-2009 and the NIFA General Terms and Conditions Grants and Cooperative Agreements (dated October 2016). For program status clarification or historical context, contact the NIFA headquarters or appropriate regional location.
