Land-grant and public universities across the nation champion agriculture every day through their research, education, and Extension.

For more than 160 years, America’s land‑grant universities have driven this legacy forward, creating the nationwide framework …

Administered by USDA-NIFA since 1998, the Multistate Research Fund supports agricultural innovation and sustainability by providing federal funds to collaborative research projects led by State Agricultural Experiment Stations and land-grant universities.

The National Impacts Database (NIDB) documents and demonstrates the collective and individual impacts of the land-grant system in teaching, research, and Extension.

The National Information Management and Support System (NIMSS) is a web-based application that will allow participants of Multistate Research Projects and Activities to submit proposals and reports online.

This tool enables Cooperative Extension professionals to register their projects, programs, or curriculum for nationwide collaboration among Cooperative Extension colleagues.

The National Institute of Food and Agriculture is committed to serving its stakeholders, Congress, and the public by using new technologies to advance greater openness.

With NIFA funding, researchers across our nation make significant strides toward solving society’s challenges in the areas of climate, bioenergy, education, the environment, family & consumer sciences, food safety, nutrition, sustainable agriculture, and youth development.

Experiment Station scientists provide research and discoveries that fuel Cooperative Extension’s hands-on education curriculum and work with farmers, ranchers, suppliers, processors, and others involved in food production and agriculture.
