Additional Information on Eligibility: A. Eligible Applicants 1. Eligible Institutions - Individual Institutions For the purposes of the RIIA Program, the term "eligible institution" means an institution of higher education, as defined in section 101(a) of the Higher Education Act of 1995 (20 U.S.C. 1001(a)), that is located in an Insular Area as defined in this announcement, and that has a demonstrable capacity to carry out teaching and extension programs in the food and agricultural sciences. Individual land-grant colleges and universities, and other institutions that have secured land-grant status through Federal legislation, and which are located in Insular Areas as defined in this announcement, are automatically eligible for awards under the RIIA Program, either as direct applicants or as parties to a consortium agreement. 2. Eligible Institutions - Branch Institutions of a State System For the purposes of this program, the individual branches of a State university system or public system of higher education that are separately accredited as degree granting institutions are treated as separate, individual institutions eligible to apply for and receive awards, provided that they otherwise satisfy the definition of "eligible institution" as specified above. 3. Eligible Institutions - Independent Branch Campuses Independent branch campuses of individual institutions may apply for and receive grant awards under this program, provided that they otherwise satisfy the definition of "eligible institution" as specified above. An "independent branch campus" means a unit of a 2-year or 4-year institution of higher education that is geographically apart from the main campus, is permanent in nature, offers courses for credit and programs leading to an associate or bachelors degree, and is autonomous to the extent that it has its own faculty and administrative or supervisory organization and its own budgetary and hiring authority. 4. Eligible Institutions - Consortium Arrangements Two or more eligible, individual institutions, independent branch campuses, or branch institutions of a State university system may form a consortium to carry out education, training, and teaching programs in the food and agricultural sciences as allowed under the RIIA Program. In addition to the eligible, individual institutions, such a consortium also may include units of State government and private sector entities. A consortium established for such purposes may apply for and receive a consortium grant under the RIIA Grants Program. An existing consortium consisting of at least two or more eligible, individual institutions, independent branch campuses, or branch institutions of a State system, which demonstrates its ability to carry out allowed activities and its commitment to the goals of the RIIA Grants Program, also may apply for and receive a Consortium Grant under the RIIA Grants Program. Such a consortium also may include units of State government and private sector entities.
