Additional Information of Eligibility:
Eligibility Requirements Applicants for the NLGCA must meet all the requirements discussed in this RFA.
Applications may only be submitted by a Non-Land Grant College of Agriculture (NLGCAs) certified as such by the NIFA at the time of application.
A current list of NLGCA’s certified by NIFA can be found at the NLGCA List Resource webpage.
Section 7102 of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 removed the opt-in, opt-out language that had previously required Hispanic Serving Agricultural Colleges and Universities (HSACU) and McIntire-Stennis Colleges and Universities to relinquish that status if they wanted to pursue NLGCA designation.
There are no longer any such limitations.
Award recipients may subaward to organizations not eligible to apply to this grants program, providing such organizations are necessary for the conduct of the project.
All institutions certified as NLGCA prior to December 21, 2018, must reapply for certification and meet the new criteria for NLGCA certification contained in the Federal Register Notice.
If you are not sure if you are eligible to request NLGCA designation, please consult the NLGCA Eligibility Flow Chart.
