Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NIFA SLBCD 009062
The Tribal Colleges Extension Program - Capacity Applications (TCEP-CA) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) designed to strengthen and expand Extension capacity at 1994 Land-Grant Institutions (often called the "1994s"). The core purpose is twofold: first, to increase the ability of these Tribal Colleges and Universities to plan, deliver, and sustain Extension programming; and second, to help institutions address special needs, seize timely opportunities, and support Extension projects that demonstrate lasting, long-term benefits in their communities.
Funding under this program is meant to support Extension work in one or more recognized base program areas. These include Agriculture; Community Resources and Economic Development; Family Development and Resource Management; 4-H and Youth Development; Leadership and Volunteer Development; Natural Resources and Environmental Management; and Nutrition, Diet and Health. In practical terms, proposals can focus on building programs, staffing and training capacity, developing outreach and education models, and delivering community-facing services and learning activities tied to these areas, as long as they clearly strengthen Extension functions and outcomes at the applicant institution.
Eligibility is limited strictly to colleges and universities that are officially designated as 1994 Land-Grant Institutions by legislation. Applications are not open to the general public, non-1994 colleges, or other organizations acting as primary applicants. The solicitation notes that applicants must meet every eligibility and submission requirement described in the Request for Applications (RFA) by the deadline; missing criteria can lead to removal from consideration or prevent NIFA from issuing an award even if the application is reviewed. For institutions or staff who are newer to federal grants, NIFA points applicants to its Grants Overview resources as a way to understand the federal financial assistance process and requirements.
The opportunity listing identifies the program as USDA NIFA SLBCD 009062, with a CFDA number of 10.517, and an activity category focused on Agriculture. The funding instrument is a grant, and the award ceiling listed is $984,000. The original closing date shown in the source data is 2022-07-29, and the posting record indicates a creation date of 2022-04-06.
The eligible applicant list included in the notice consists of the legislatively designated 1994 Land-Grant institutions, including: Aaniiih Nakoda College; Bay Mills Community College; Blackfeet Community College; Cankdeska Cikana Community College; Chief Dull Knife College; College of the Menominee Nation; College of the Muscogee Nation; Dine College; Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College; Fort Peck Community College; Haskell Indian Nations University; Ilisagvik College; Institute of American Indian Arts; Keweenaw Bay Ojibwa Community College; Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa Community College; Leech Lake Tribal College; Little Big Horn College; Little Priest Tribal College; Navajo Technical University; Nebraska Indian Community College; Northwest Indian College; Nueta Hidatsa Sahnish College; Oglala Lakota College; Red Lake Nation College; Saginaw Chippewa Tribal College; Salish Kootenai College; Sinte Gleska University; Sisseton Wahpeton College; Sitting Bull College; Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute; Stone Child College; Tohono O'odham Community College; Turtle Mountain Community College; United Tribes Technical College; and White Earth Tribal and Community College.Apply for USDA NIFA SLBCD 009062
