About this program

The Department of Agriculture Risk Management Agency has not awarded grants under the Partnership Agreements to Develop Non-Insurance Risk Management Tools for Producers program (CFDA 10.456) since September 2010—more than sixteen years ago. The program is inactive and not currently accepting applications.

Between 2007 and 2010, the agency funded the development of decision-support tools and risk management systems for U.S. agriculture producers, with emphasis on specialty crop, livestock, rangeland, and underserved-commodity producers. Funded projects created tools such as irrigation management systems, pest management analysis platforms, disease forecasting systems, organic farm business management resources, livestock health monitoring systems, and crop insurance decision-support software. Representative awards include $959 thousand for the Diversified Agriculture Revenue Translation System (DARTS), $650 thousand for risk reduction tools in specialty crops across the southeastern United States, and $525 thousand for enhancements to AgClimate web-based climate forecast tools for producers.

All 29 grants awarded under this program were Cooperative Agreements, totaling $7.7 million in federal obligations. The Department of Agriculture Risk Management Agency was the sole funding source across the program's active period. Award magnitudes ranged from roughly $45 thousand to $959 thousand, with a concentration of activity in fiscal year 2007 (17 awards) followed by minimal activity in 2008 (1 award), a modest pickup in 2009 (3 awards), and a final cohort in 2010 (8 awards). Funding activity concluded abruptly after September 2010, with no awards issued in the sixteen subsequent years. The program archive reflects completed projects with terminal dates extending through 2012.

No recent grant opportunities or solicitations are currently open under this program. Organizations pursuing non-insurance risk management tool development for agricultural producers should seek alternative USDA funding mechanisms or confirm the program's current operational status with the Risk Management Agency directly before committing business development resources.
