Opportunity Summary:
The Alaska Native-Serving and Native Hawaiian-Serving Institutions Education Competitive Grants Program (ANNH) is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA-NIFA). It is designed to build and strengthen the long-term capacity of eligible Alaska Native-Serving Institutions and Native Hawaiian-Serving Institutions to deliver high-quality education, applied research, and related community development work connected to food and agricultural sciences. The program is intentionally flexible: institutions are expected to identify their own most pressing educational needs and propose projects that respond to those needs within a broad set of disciplines tied to agriculture, food systems, and natural resources.
At its core, the program focuses on improving educational outcomes and opportunities for students who have historically been underrepresented. Priority is placed on proposals that advance educational equity, strengthen an institution's ability to teach and support students effectively, and expand pathways into careers that support the United States food, agricultural, and natural resource systems. This includes efforts that better prepare students for the workforce, improve the quality and reach of teaching programs, and make smarter, more effective use of institutional resources. The opportunity also supports applied research and community development activities when they are connected to the institution's educational mission and the needs of the communities the institution serves.
