Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NIFA OP 009753
The Food and Agricultural Education Information System (FAEIS) grant opportunity is a discretionary funding program from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) that supports the continued operation and improvement of a nationwide higher-education data system focused on the life, food, veterinary, human, natural resource, and agricultural sciences. The core purpose of FAEIS is to collect, organize, and make usable annual data that describe the education pipeline and workforce outcomes in these fields, using a standardized online survey administered each year across participating institutions and programs. In practical terms, the project is about maintaining a reliable national picture of who is studying in these disciplines, who is graduating, where graduates are going, and what the academic workforce looks like.
FAEIS data collection covers several major categories. On the student side, it includes enrollment figures, graduation counts, and job placement outcomes. On the faculty side, it includes workforce information such as salaries. A key feature of the system is that it breaks down (disaggregates) the information in multiple ways so it can be used for detailed analysis and decision-making. Specifically, the data are reported by degree program and degree level, and are also separated by gender and ethnicity. This kind of structured detail is important for understanding trends in participation, completion, and career outcomes, as well as for evaluating equity and representation across different disciplines and demographics.
From an eligibility standpoint, applicants must meet all requirements laid out in the Request for Applications (RFA). The announcement emphasizes that missing eligibility criteria by the application deadline can lead to an application being excluded from consideration or can prevent NIFA from issuing an award. The program lists the eligible applicant category broadly as "Others," which typically indicates that the competition may be open beyond standard categories like state governments or universities, but the definitive rules are those contained in the official RFA. The opportunity also points new applicants to NIFA's Grants Overview as a strongly recommended resource for understanding federal financial assistance expectations and the overall federal grants process.
Administratively, this opportunity is listed as Funding Opportunity Number USDA NIFA OP 009753 under CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 10.200, with the funding instrument being a grant and the funding activity category being agriculture.
