President’s FY 17
NIFA Budget Request Overview
If you missed the Feb. 9 teleconference with NIFA Director Sonny Ramaswamy
presenting the overview of the President’s proposed FY 17 NIFA Budget, the
recording and transcript are
now available on NIFA’s
website. The President’s budget proposes doubling funding for the Agriculture
and Food Research Initiative (AFRI), minor increases in funding for
some programs, and sustained funding for others. NIFA uses these funds to
deploy research that underpins transformative discoveries needed to solve
challenges to our nation’s nutritional security, including diminishing land
and water resources, changing climate, and the need for environmental
stewardship, in the context of the burgeoning population. Other documents related to the FY 17 Budget include: NIFA
FY 2017 President’s Budget Proposal brochure and the 2017
Explanatory Notes.
