Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NIFA SLBCD 006265
The Federally Recognized Tribes Extension Program is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA), focused on strengthening Cooperative Extension services in Tribal communities. Its central goal is to build and maintain a visible, functional Extension presence and to support on-the-ground outreach efforts within Federally Recognized Indian Reservations and other Tribal jurisdictions of Federally Recognized Tribes. In practical terms, the program is meant to make sure that research-based education, training, and technical assistance that commonly flow through the land-grant university system are accessible in places where those services have historically been limited or inconsistent.
A key theme of the opportunity is inclusion as part of the broader Land-Grant mission. The program frames its purpose as expanding access to education and evidence-based knowledge for audiences who might not otherwise receive it. Because Extension is typically the public-facing, community-engagement arm of land-grant institutions, this funding is oriented toward applied programming and relationship-based work that can translate university research into useful tools for local decision-making, community development, agriculture and natural resources, youth and family programs, and other community-identified priorities. While the notice does not list specific project topics in the excerpt provided, the overall intent is clearly to support sustained Extension outreach capacity serving Federally Recognized Tribes.
Eligibility is limited to 1862 or 1890 Land-Grant Institutions, and only those that have at least one Federally Recognized Tribe within their state jurisdiction may apply. This requirement ties the applicant institution to the communities the program is designed to serve and reinforces the expectation that projects are geographically and administratively connected to Tribal jurisdictions in that state. The opportunity also points applicants to a state-by-state resource for verifying federally recognized Tribal entities, referencing a National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) listing of federally and state recognized tribes and groups, which can help applicants confirm the presence of Federally Recognized Tribes within their state.
From the grant listing details, the program is categorized under Agriculture and is associated with CFDA number 10.500. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity was posted under Funding Opportunity Number USDA NIFA SLBCD 006265. The agency is USDA NIFA. The opportunity record indicates an original closing date of April 26, 2017, with a creation date of March 14, 2017. The excerpted data does not provide an award ceiling or expected number of awards, suggesting those specifics would have been detailed in the full funding announcement or related program guidance rather than in the summary fields shown here.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a capacity-building and service-expansion program: it uses the land-grant Extension system as the delivery mechanism to increase consistent, culturally relevant, research-based outreach in Tribal communities, with the stated intention of improving access to educational resources and applied knowledge on Federally Recognized Tribal lands and within Tribal jurisdictions.Apply for USDA NIFA SLBCD 006265
