Capacity Building Grants Program: 1890 Institution Teaching and Research Capacity Building Grants Program

The CBG program supports projects that strengthen teaching programs in the food and agricultural sciences in the targeted educational need areas of curriculum design and materials development, faculty preparation and enhancement for teaching, instructional delivery systems, scientific instrumentation for teaching, student experiential learning, and student recruitment and retention. CBG also supports projects that strengthen research programs in the targeted research need areas of studies and experimentation in food and agricultural sciences, centralized research support systems, technology delivery systems, and other creative applications.
