AI Contract Overview
The Hispanic-Serving Institutions Education Grants Program, solicitation USDA-NIFA-HSI-011903, is a federal funding opportunity administered by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Department of Agriculture. The program aims to strengthen the capacity of Hispanic-Serving Institutions to implement education, applied research, and community development programs specifically within the fields of food, agriculture, natural resources, and human sciences. For fiscal year 2026, approximately 30.6 million dollars is available, with individual awards ranging from 25,000 dollars to 1.2 million dollars. While only HSIs are eligible to apply, the funded projects must provide benefits to the institution's entire population rather than exclusively to Hispanic students. Eligible institutions must maintain at least 25 percent undergraduate full-time Hispanic enrollment and meet specific federal criteria regarding accreditation and need-based assistance. Applications are due by December 3, 2026, and must be submitted via Grants.gov. The evaluation process consists of an administrative screening followed by a scientific peer review based on five equally weighted criteria: potential for advancing education quality, proposed approach and cooperative linkages, institutional capability, qualifications of key personnel, and budget cost-effectiveness. Standard and collaboration grants require a 48-month project period, while bridge grants are funded between 100,000 and 200,000 dollars for the same duration. Required submission documents include a project narrative limited to 20 double-spaced pages, a data management plan, and a mentoring plan.

Full Description
The HSI Education Grants Program, under assistance listing number 10.223, will promote and strengthen the ability HSIs to carry out education, applied research, and related community development programs. This program encourages innovative teaching, education, or related community development proposals with the potential to impact and become models for other institutions at the regional or national level. Applications may propose, as part of a formal education and teaching program, that students gain experience with an applied research and community outreach activity. While HSIs are the only eligible entities to apply for this NOFO, funded projects should benefit the entire population at the institution, not solely the Hispanic population.
