The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research (FFAR) are seeking research proposals for a funding opportunity that will drive innovations at the intersection of human health, climate-smart agriculture, and social justice, equity, and opportunity to advance nutrition security. The “Nourishing Next Generation Agrifood Breakthroughs” Innovation Challenge will fund early-career scientists (within 10 years of receiving a Ph.D. or equivalent degree) to lead highly collaborative, interdisciplinary teams on groundbreaking research that addresses nutrition security.
On June 13, FFAR and USDA hosted an informational webinar about this opportunity. A recording of this webinar is available on the FFAR website. This new informational session on July 10 will be a new addition that features frequently asked questions from applicants. FFAR’s Dr. LaKisha Odom and Dr. USDA’s John Rothlisberger will discuss and answer frequently asked questions about the USDA-FFAR Innovation Challenge.
