National Research Initiative Competitive Grants Program: The National Research Initiative (NRI) Competitive Grants Program supports research, education, and extension projects that address key problems of National, regional, and multi-state importance in sustaining all components of agriculture (farming, ranching, forestry, aquaculture, rural communities, human nutrition, processing, etc.). Emerging agricultural issues of national concern, including food safety, honey bee colony collapse disorder (CCD), and sustainable alternative energy resources, drives NRI programs to advance scientific discoveries. Providing this support requires that NRI advance fundamental sciences in support of agriculture and coordinate opportunities to build on these discoveries. Building on these discoveries will necessitate new efforts in education and extension that deliver science-based knowledge to people, allowing them to make informed practical decisions. In FY 2008, the NRI will accept applications for fundamental research, mission-linked research, and integrated research, education, and extension projects. Application deadlines vary by program. For additional information, review each program description in the Request for Applications (RFA) for program priorities, funding levels, and application deadlines.
