About this program
The Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded the sole grant under CFDA 10.239 on September 30, 2022, making this program inactive for new funding as of now. The program is no longer making new awards, though funded projects may continue to report expenditures. This program is not worth pursuing at present.
The program's only recent award, valued at $909 thousand, funded the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to conduct a comprehensive review of scientific linkages between soil health and human health. The committee examined relationships between human microbiomes and soil microbiomes, connections between soil management practices and nutrient density of foods, soil microbial compounds used in drug development (including antibiotics and anti-cancer agents), soil-borne pathogens and toxins, interactions between soil microbiomes and environmental contaminants affecting human health, and management practices that enhance health benefits while reducing adverse health impacts. The completed report identified key findings, knowledge gaps, promising research directions, and recommendations for leveraging soil microbiome benefits.
The program operates as Project Grants exclusively. NIFA disburses funds through the Automated Standard Application for Payments (ASAP), its secure web-based electronic payment system. Project periods, including no-cost extensions, do not exceed five years. Grant-related records must be maintained for at least three years and longer if litigation or unresolved audit findings are pending.
