Description
NIFA
requests applications for the Renewable Resource Extension Act (RREA) – National
Focus Fund Projects (NFF) for fiscal year (FY) 2019 to provide for expanded and
comprehensive extension programs for forest and rangeland renewable resources at
a national, regional, or institutional level. RREA is an Extension-only
program therefore research cannot be conducted with RREA-NFF
funds.
The
goal of the NFF program is to enhance the sustainability of the nation’s forest
and rangeland resources and to enable landowners and managers to achieve their
desired goals and objectives by making resource management decisions based on
sound research findings. Forest and rangeland resources include vegetation,
water, fisheries and wildlife, soil, and recreation. These projects must
maximize the capacity, reach, and impact of the Cooperative Extension System –
Extension Forestry and Rangeland Programs and must directly work across State
boundaries to share expertise to address common problems (Priority 1) or develop
and demonstrate a pilot project with researchers for knowledge transfer
(Priority 2). NIFA does not require matching support for this
program.
