Description

The National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) is soliciting applications for the Integrated Research, Education, and Extension Competitive Grants Program - Organic Transitions (ORG) for Fiscal Year 2026. This program aims to support the development and implementation of research, extension, and higher education programs that enhance the competitiveness of U.S. organic livestock and crop producers, as well as those adopting organic practices. Approximately $7,500,000 is available for this program, with individual awards ranging from $20,000 to $1,000,000. Eligible applicants include colleges and universities, 1994 Institutions, and Hispanic-serving agricultural colleges and universities. Projects must address organic practices and systems, including organic crops, organic animal production, and integrated crop-livestock systems. Key priorities include documenting the effects of organic practices on soil health and fertility, developing improved technologies and metrics for organic systems, and finding effective alternatives to substances that may be removed from the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances. Projects must also demonstrate an increase in the profitability of organic production and include a strong emphasis on stakeholder involvement and the dissemination of research findings.
