Higher Education Challenge (HEC) Grants Progam

March 2, 2016

The USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture is seeking proposals for the Higher Education Challenge (HEC) Grants Program.  Projects supported by the HEC Program will:  (1) address a State, regional, national, or international education need; (2) involve a creative or non-traditional approach toward addressing that need that can serve as a model to others; (3) encourage and facilitate better working relationships in the university science and education community, as well as between universities and the private sector, to enhance program quality and supplement available resources; and (4) result in benefits that will likely transcend the project duration and USDA support.  
 
Estimated Total Program Funding:  $4,500,000; Range of Awards:  Unavailable
