Abstract
This guide is intended for researchers and academics pursuing funding opportunities for research in agroforestry - the intentonal integration of trees and agriculture. The guide provides an overview of external agroforestry research funding opportunities offered by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) agencies.
This publication was created for serveral reasons. Agroforestry is not always clearly identified in announcements about research funding opportunities. In addition, research on agroforestry can require a longer time horizon than research on annual systems, so awareness of multiple funding sources or multi-year funding opportunities can be useful. Last, though USDA offers grants that can support agroforestry research, it can be difficult to identify the best fit for a research objective.
Inside is an overview of each USDA external grant program relevant to agroforestry research, organized by agency. The description for each grant program includes a discussion of opportunities for agroforestry research, examples of agroforestry research supported, eligibility requirements, and additional resources.
