Higher Education Challenge Grants Program

Solicitation # USDA-NIFA-CGP-011315

The Higher Education Challenge Grants Program, administered by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, aims to strengthen institutional capacities in food and agricultural sciences education at the master’s, doctorate, and first professional degree levels, particularly in veterinary medicine.

The program prioritizes innovations in curriculum development, faculty advancement, scientific instrumentation, student recruitment and retention, and multi-institutional collaboration to build a sustainable pipeline of skilled professionals in critical agricultural disciplines. All proposals must align with USDA’s definition of teaching and education and address one of 16 designated Educational Need Areas. Mandatory requirements include a detailed logic model, mentoring plan, data management plan, conflict of interest disclosures, and non-Federal cost-sharing or matching funds, with no more than 50% of funds allowed to be subcontracted without prior approval. Applications must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov by the October 15, 2026 deadline and adhere to strict formatting and naming conventions for each component, including a 250-word project summary, a 20-page narrative with supplemental figures and tables, and supporting documents such as biographical sketches and current and pending support disclosures.

Performance sites are specified by applicants but administrative functions are directed to Kansas City, Missouri. Payment will be processed via the Automated Standard Application for Payments system, and continuation requires demonstrated institutional commitment and plans for long-term integration beyond federal funding. The program does not involve procurement contracts, and therefore does not include FAR clauses, line-item pricing, or delivery schedules; instead, it operates under 2 CFR 200 and 7 CFR 3430 as a federal assistance award focused on educational capacity building.
