    The Tribal Colleges Research Grants Program (TCRGP) through the USDA-NIFA invites proposals for research projects aimed at enhancing research capacity at 1994 American Indian Land-Grant Institutions for Fiscal Year 2024, with a total funding of approximately $7.2 million. The program offers various grant types, with individual awards ranging from $150,000 to $2.5 million, focused on agricultural research addressing tribal and national priorities. Applications can be submitted anytime until December 31, 2024, across three phases, with designated deadlines for each phase. Collaboration with other approved research institutions is mandatory, and projects must involve student participation for funding eligibility. The program prioritizes diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) and emphasizes the integration of traditional ecological knowledge. All applications undergo a stringent review process that evaluates their potential impact, quality of research, institutional capacity, and budget justification. The program does not mandate matching funds and allows eligible institutions to submit multiple proposals across specific grant types. The TCRGP aims to build sustainable research infrastructures, enhance educational opportunities, and address pressing challenges within tribal communities through collaborative and innovative research practices.
