The Non-Land Grant Colleges of Agriculture (NLGCA) Program offers Capacity Building Grants to enhance institutional capabilities. This grant is for the purpose of enabling NLGCA institutions to successfully compete for funds from federal and other sources to carry out educational, research, and outreach activities that address priority agricultural concerns. Funds can be utilized to disseminate vital information to agricultural and renewable resources communities, and to encourage community participation by providing matching funds to leverage grant support. Additionally, the grants facilitate strengthening institutional infrastructure through the acquisition of essential equipment, fostering professional growth and development for faculty, and establishing graduate assistantships. The program aims to empower NLGCA institutions to significantly contribute to agricultural advancements and community engagement.
