Opportunity Summary:
The 1890 Facilities Grant Program is a discretionary USDA grant opportunity administered by CSREES (now part of USDA-NIFA) designed to strengthen the physical infrastructure used for teaching, research, and related capacity-building in agricultural and food sciences at the 1890 land-grant universities. The core purpose is to fund the acquisition, modernization, renovation, or other improvement of facilities and equipment, including library resources, so these institutions can more fully support education and workforce preparation in the food and agricultural sciences. In practical terms, the program targets the kinds of capital investments that directly affect an institution's ability to train students, support faculty work, and maintain up-to-date learning and research environments.
Funding is provided through a grant instrument under CFDA 10.500 (Cooperative Extension Service). For this funding cycle, the opportunity anticipated about 20 awards with an estimated total funding level of $17,280,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between an award floor of $678,011 and an award ceiling of $1,408,428. The opportunity indicated no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute institutional funds as a condition of receiving an award, although applicants may still choose to leverage other resources depending on their project plans.
Eligibility is limited to the designated 1890 land-grant institutions. The announcement lists the eligible applicants as: Alabama A&M University, Tuskegee University, University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, Delaware State University, Florida A&M University, Fort Valley State University, Kentucky State University, Southern University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Lincoln University, Alcorn State University, North Carolina A&T State University, Langston University, South Carolina State University, Tennessee State University, Prairie View A&M University, Virginia State University, and West Virginia State University. The program description emphasizes ensuring these 1890 institutions, including Tuskegee University and West Virginia State University, can participate fully in producing "human capital" for the food and agricultural sciences, meaning graduates, trained professionals, and the broader pipeline of talent needed in these fields.
