Smith-Lever Act Formula Grant
The Smith-Lever Act of 1914 establishes the Cooperative Extension Service and provides federal funds for cooperative extension activities. The act requires that states provide a 100% match from non-federal resources. The act also authorizes special extension projects under section 3(d). Current projects funded under this authority include the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program, Farm Safety, Integrated Pest Management, and Children, Youth and Families at Risk.

There are two types of reporting requirements for these funds:
1) Plan-of-Work Reporting which considers the entire portfolio of agricultural research and extension formula grants awarded to each 1862 and 1890 land-grant institution. Each 1862 and 1890 land-grant institution is required to submit every five years a plan of work for their agricultural research and extension formula grants authorized under the Hatch Act, Smith-Lever Act, and sections 1444 and 1445 of the National Agricultural Research, Extension, and Teaching Policy Act. The first POW submitted included the period October 1, 1999, through September 30, 2004. Institutions are expected to update their current plan of work by April 1, 2004, for an additional 2-year period (i.e., through September 30, 2006). Each year institutions are required to submit by April 1st an Annual Report of Accomplishments and Results.
