The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) announced the “Veterinary Services Grant Program (VSGP)” Program, USDA-NIFA-VSGP-006700.   The VSGP is designed to support education and extension activities and practice enhancement initiatives that will enable veterinarians, veterinary students, veterinary technicians, and veterinary technician students to gain specialized skills and provide practices with additional resources (e.g., equipment, personnel) needed to more effectively mitigate veterinary service shortages in the U.S. Ultimately, this program will bolster the capacity of private practitioners to provide food animal veterinary services in designated rural veterinarian shortage situations. Applications will be accepted for two project types: (1) Education, Extension and Training and (2) Rural Practice Enhancement.
