Eligible Applicants
-
Public and State controlled institutions of higher education
Private institutions of higher education
Additional Information on Eligibility:
- Colleges and universities (as defined in section 1404 of
NARETPA) (7 U.S.C. 3103) are eligible to submit applications for the
National Integrated Food Safety Initiative. Section 1404 of NARETPA was
amended by section 7101 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of
2008 (FCEA) to define Hispanic-serving Agricultural Colleges and
Universities (HSACUs) (see Part III, B. for more information), and to
include research foundations maintained by eligible colleges or
universities.
For the purposes of this program, the terms “college” and “university”
mean an educational institution in any state which (1) admits as
regular students only persons having a certificate of graduation from a
school providing secondary education, or the recognized equivalent of
such a certificate; (2) is legally authorized within such state to
provide a program of education beyond secondary education; (3) provides
an educational program for which a bachelor’s degree or any other
higher degree is awarded; (4) is a public or other nonprofit
institution; and (5) is accredited by a nationally recognized
accrediting agency or association. Applications also may be submitted
by 1994 Land-Grant Institutions (as defined in 7 CFR 3430), HSACUs, and
research foundations maintained by eligible colleges or universities.
An applicant’s failure to meet an eligibility criterion by the time of
an application deadline will preclude NIFA from reviewing an
application and making an award.
Award recipients may subcontract to organizations not eligible to apply
directly for funds provided such organizations are necessary for the
conduct of the project.
