DOA 1890 Institutions Capacity Building Grants The purpose of this grant program is to build the institutional capacities of the eligible colleges and universities through cooperative initiatives with federal and nonfederal entities. This program addresses the need to attract more students from under represented groups in the food and agricultural sciences, expand the linkages among the 1890 Institutions and with other colleges and universities, and strengthen the teaching and research capacity of the 1890 Institutions to more firmly establish them as full partners in the food and agricultural science and education system. For teaching project grants, the targeted need areas are curricula design and materials development, faculty preparation and enhancement for teaching, instruction delivery systems, scientific instrumentation for teaching, student experiential learning, and student recruitment and retention. For research project grants, the targeted need areas are studies and experimentation in food and agricultural sciences, centralized research support systems, technology delivery systems, and other creative projects designed to provide needed enhancement of the nation's food and agricultural research system.
