About the company
Fort Valley State University, a Historically Black College and University and 1890 Land-Grant Institution located in Fort Valley, Georgia, serves as a recipient of federal research, extension, and educational grants across agriculture, food systems, STEM education, and workforce development. The institution operates as a prime grant recipient (96% of awards) rather than a federal contractor, with no contract vehicles or contract prime awardees on record. Fort Valley State University is a child entity of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, a state-controlled educational institution.
The university's federal footprint centers on agricultural research, cooperative extension programming, and student support services. Representative work includes a $9.528 million formula grant from the Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.205) covering plant and animal production, food safety, health and wellness, sustainability, youth and family development, and emerging agricultural technologies across a joint Georgia Plan of Work with the University of Georgia; a $7.82 million extension services grant (CFDA 10.512) supporting agricultural and forestry extension activities and cold vegetable and meat processing facilities; a $599,999 capacity-building award (CFDA 10.216) for beef cattle research focusing on nutraceutical forages and precision livestock production technologies including AI and machine learning; and a $298,879 award (CFDA 10.216) for undergraduate CRISPR genome-editing coursework development and hands-on workshops. Agricultural research service cooperative agreements include a $861,760 award on aflatoxin reduction in peanuts and a $537,144 award on pecan processing food safety. The university also delivers extended nutrition education (CFDA 10.514) across multiple Georgia counties and hosts student scholarship programs in food and agricultural sciences (CFDA 10.524).
Customer concentration reflects heavy reliance on Department of Agriculture programs. The National Institute of Food and Agriculture dominates the funding portfolio with 141 awards, followed by a second slice of 63 awards also attributed to NIFA. The Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education places 35 awards, the Department of the Army 36, and the Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service 30 awards. These five agencies account for approximately 65% of recent awards. Grant programs span USDA NIFA 1890 Land-Grant capacity building, extension services, research agreements, and CFDA numbers including 10.001 (Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research), 10.216 (1890 Institution Capacity Building Grants), 10.514 (Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program), and Department of Education Title III HBCU strengthening and TRIO programs.
Educational grant work includes $1.752 million from the Department of Education Higher Education Institutional Aid program (CFDA 84.031) for institutional strengthening; $3 million from the Department of Education Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education for STEM program expansion; a $398,058 National Science Foundation award (CFDA 47.076) for STEM student transfer pathways; and $1.4 million from NSF (CFDA 47.076) for math competency scholarships serving 30 low-income undergraduates. Federal agencies also fund student support services, including TRIO programs (Student Support Services, Educational Talent Search, Upward Bound, McNair Scholars), Head Start and Early Head Start operations, and mental health training (CFDA not specified for SAMHSA award). The Department of the Interior, National Telecommunications and Information Administration (CFDA 11.028 for digital equity broadband expansion), and Department of Commerce have also placed awards.
Activity has remained modest but steady, with 23 awards in 2022, 19 in 2023, 25 in 2024, 15 in 2025, and 8 in 2026 year-to-date. Twenty-one awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Sub-recipient activity is minimal—four percent of awards—with Fort Valley State University participating as a sub-recipient on NIFA-funded projects led by the University of Georgia Research Foundation, North Carolina A&T, Florida A&M, and others focusing on sustainable agriculture, STEM pathways, teacher preparation residencies, and grain industry leadership.
The university operates primarily as an educational and research institution delivering peer-reviewed agricultural science, extension education, food safety research, and student support programming to federal agencies rather than as a service contractor. Federal grant programs anchoring the portfolio emphasize 1890 Land-Grant institutional capacity, agricultural workforce development, and HBCU educational strengthening.
