Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NIFA RHSE 010553
The Rural Health and Safety Education (RHSE) Competitive Grants Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) that funds community-based outreach and education efforts focused on improving health outcomes in rural communities. The intent is to support practical, on-the-ground education programs, often delivered through Human Sciences or Cooperative Extension-style outreach, that help individuals and families understand the benefits of good health at any age and build the motivation and skills to take greater responsibility for their own health. Projects are expected to be rooted in local needs and delivered in partnership with state, local, and community organizations so that information and training are relevant, trusted, and easier for rural residents to access.
Funded projects are expected to provide education and resources across several connected areas. This includes health promotion information and activities that encourage healthier behaviors, education about rural environmental health issues that directly affect human health, and efforts that improve awareness of and access to health-related educational opportunities in rural settings. RHSE also emphasizes training and capacity-building, including training for volunteers and for health service providers who deliver health promotion and health care services to individuals and families. The program is designed to strengthen community knowledge and local service networks, not just distribute information, so proposals generally need to show how outreach will be delivered, who will be served, and how partnerships will support effective implementation.
Eligibility is limited to specific institutions. Applications may be submitted by 1862 and 1890 Land-Grant colleges and universities that are eligible for funding under the Morrill Acts (7 U.S.C. 301 et seq. and 7 U.S.C. 321 et seq.), explicitly including Central State University, Tuskegee University, and West Virginia State University. Tribal colleges and universities designated as 1994 Land-Grant Institutions under the Educational Land-Grant Status Act of 1994 (as amended) are also eligible to apply. While other types of organizations cannot apply directly, award recipients are allowed to subcontract with organizations that are not eligible applicants if those partners are necessary to carry out the project work, which creates room for collaborations with community groups, health organizations, nonprofits, or local agencies.
Key administrative details from the opportunity listing include: Funding Opportunity Number USDA NIFA RHSE 010553; Assistance Listing (CFDA) 10.516; funding instrument type is a grant; activity category is listed under agriculture (consistent with NIFA and extension programming). The original application closing date was 2024-03-14. The award ceiling is $350,000, and NIFA anticipated making about 12 awards. Applicants are expected to meet all eligibility requirements described in the Request for Applications (RFA), and failing to meet those requirements by the deadline can result in the application being excluded from consideration or make an award impossible.
