Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA FAS 10777 0700 10 24 0001
The 2024 USDA/FAS Borlaug Fellowship Program World Food Prize Event is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) intended to support activities connected to the Norman E. Borlaug International Agricultural Science and Technology Fellowship Program, with a particular tie-in to the World Food Prize event. The Borlaug Fellowship Program itself is designed to provide 12-week fellowship experiences for individuals from eligible countries who already specialize in, or have practical experience with, agricultural education, research, extension, or closely related fields. In practice, the program is aimed at building professional capacity and strengthening technical networks by placing fellows into collaborative, research-oriented engagements that connect them with U.S. agricultural professionals and institutions.
The underlying purpose is to advance USDA agricultural research goals by encouraging sustained collaboration among several groups: agricultural professionals from eligible partner countries, agricultural professionals in the United States, the broader international agricultural research system, and other U.S.-based entities engaged in agricultural research. The program is framed around the legacy of Dr. Norman E. Borlaug and his emphasis on measurable improvements in global food security through science, technology, and the practical scaling of innovations. The opportunity also references the World Food Prize, founded in 1986 to recognize individuals whose work improves the quality, quantity, or availability of food worldwide. The World Food Prize is positioned as a premier international honor in this space, and it explicitly spans a wide range of disciplines that affect food systems, including agricultural science and technology, manufacturing and marketing, nutrition, economics, poverty alleviation, political leadership, and social sciences. This broad framing signals that, while the Borlaug Fellowship is rooted in agricultural science and applied research, the larger ecosystem it connects to recognizes multidisciplinary approaches to improving the global food supply.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency typically expects to have substantial involvement in the supported project rather than operating purely as a pass-through funder. The opportunity is categorized under Agriculture, with CFDA (Assistance Listing) number 10.777. The funding opportunity number is USDA FAS 10777 0700 10 24 0001. The posting indicates an expected single award, with an award ceiling of $75,000, suggesting a focused project scope intended to support one implementing entity for the event-related component rather than a broad multi-recipient program.
Key dates and logistics included in the notice are that the opportunity was created on January 30, 2024, and the original application closing date was March 29, 2024. Applicant eligibility is listed generally as "Others," and the announcement points applicants to Section C of the full funding opportunity announcement for the specific eligibility requirements and definitions. The awarding agency is USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service, which aligns with the program's international collaboration emphasis and its focus on building partnerships between U.S. institutions and professionals from eligible countries.
Overall, this grant opportunity can be understood as support for an event-linked component of the Borlaug Fellowship ecosystem that highlights capacity building and professional exchange in agricultural science and technology, while also reinforcing the broader mission associated with the World Food Prize: recognizing and accelerating impactful work that measurably strengthens global food security across multiple disciplines.Apply for USDA FAS 10777 0700 10 24 0001
