Education Challenge Grants Program; February 8, 2013
Agency
Name
USDA
Description
NIFA
requests applications for the Higher Education Challenge Grants Program (HEC)
for fiscal year (FY) 2013 to stimulate and enable colleges and universities to provide
the quality of education necessary to produce baccalaureate or higher degree
level graduates capable of strengthening the Nation’s food and agricultural
scientific and professional workforce.
Projects
supported by the Higher Education Challenge Grants Program will: (1) address a
State, regional, national, or international educational need; (2) involve a
creative or non-traditional approach toward addressing that need that can serve
as a model to others; (3) encourage and facilitate better working relationships
in the university science and education community, as well as between
universities and the private sector, to enhance program quality and supplement
available resources; and (4) result in benefits that will likely transcend the
project duration and USDA support.
