Description
The
U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) National Institute of Food and
Agriculture (NIFA) announced the “Smith-Lever Special Needs Competitive Grants
Program (SLSNCGP), USDA-NIFA-SLBCD-006551. The purpose of the SLSNCGP is
to support innovative, education-based approaches to addressing emergency
preparedness and specific responses related to natural and human-made
disasters. The SLSNCGP supports quality of life in communities across the
United States by addressing disaster preparedness, response, mitigation, and
recovery in the context of food, agriculture, natural resources, and human
sciences. The SLSNCGP provides information and tools to USDA, stakeholders, and
collaborators to improve decision-making in handling disasters. Funds
will support innovative extension education initiatives that address risks,
hazards, and disasters. The SLSNCGP sponsors targeted projects that enable
Cooperative Extension System (CES) to assist in preparing for, providing an
educational response to, and recovering from disasters. Some types of hazards
and disaster-related events funded in previous years include uncertainties
caused by losses of economic infrastructure, severe weather or other natural
disasters, security breaches, human disease, or high consequence animal
diseases and plant pests.
