The National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) is a U.S. federal government body whose creation was mandated in the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008. Its purpose is to consolidate all federally funded agricultural research, and it is subordinate to the Department of Agriculture. It replaced the Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service in 2009. Dr. Jaye L. Hamby was appointed NIFA Director on March 20, 2025. NIFA supports more than 70 statutory grant programs. These programs fulfill statutory requirements and provide research, education, Extension services and hands-on applications to farmers, ranchers, foresters, communities, and 4-H members. This cooperative partnership between NIFA, state, and local governments leverages university expertise for research and education and provides local Extension offices in U.S. counties/county equivalents that directly serve the people. The transformation from CSREES to NIFA began with a task force chaired by William Henry Danforth and appointed by then Secretary of Agriculture Ann Veneman. The Danforth Task Force recommended that Congress authorize the creation of NIFA as a way to strengthen agriculture research and to attract additional highly competitive research scientists to this field of endeavor. A growing program in competitive research grants will be a hallmark of the new agency. The creation of NIFA strengthened USDA's competitive research portfolio by replacing the National Research Initiative with the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative. NIFA awards research funding through a combination of competitive grants and funds allocated to states under statutory formulas.
