The Renewable Resources Extension Act (RREA) of 1978 offers this grant to significantly expand and enhance extension programs focused on forest and rangeland renewable resources. This grant, specifically through its National Focus Fund Projects, is designed to support comprehensive development in these critical areas across national, regional, or multi-institutional scales. While the majority of RREA appropriations are distributed to eligible institutions based on a state formula, this grant provides dedicated funding for projects that advance program coordination, introduce innovative technologies, and develop easily reproducible extension models. The primary purpose of this grant is to foster widespread, impactful progress in sustainable forest and rangeland management by funding initiatives with broader reach and replicability.
