    The National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), part of the USDA, is inviting commodity boards to propose topics for funding under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Competitive Grants Program. These topics, which should align with AFRI's priority areas like plant and animal health, food safety, or rural communities, will be co-funded by NIFA and the commodity boards. To have their topics considered for the fiscal year 2021, proposals must be submitted by March 5, 2021. If accepted, the commodity boards must provide funding equal to NIFA's contribution for grants awarded based on these topics.

    Simple Explanation

    The USDA is asking groups that grow food, like those that manage corn or soybeans, to suggest ideas they want to help pay for, which must be about farming, food safety, or helping country areas.
