Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NIFA SLBCD 006630
The CYFAR Professional Development and Technical Assistance (CYFAR-PDTA) grant opportunity is a discretionary funding program run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA). It sits within the CYFAR (Children, Youth, and Families at Risk) effort, which focuses on helping young people who are at risk of not having their basic needs met. The central idea is to use the strengths of the Land-Grant University network and the Cooperative Extension System, working alongside community and organizational partners, to design and deliver practical educational programs that help youth build life skills and move toward positive, productive futures. The programs supported through CYFAR are framed as community-based efforts where participating youth can also contribute socially and make a visible difference in their communities.
This particular funding opportunity is designed to support a partner university or universities that will function as the professional development and technical assistance hub for CYFAR's Sustainable Community Projects (SCP). In practice, CYFAR-PDTA is meant to strengthen local and regional CYFAR Sustainable Community programming by building connections, improving competency, and expanding capacity across communities that serve children, youth, and families who are underserved and underrepresented. Rather than funding direct youth services alone, the emphasis here is on helping the Sustainable Community Projects succeed over time by ensuring the people and systems running them have the training, tools, and ongoing support needed to maintain high-quality programming.
The scope of work highlighted in the announcement centers on providing structured professional development and technical assistance to SCP sites so they can continue to develop, implement, and sustain the CYFAR Sustainable Community program. The opportunity specifically calls out core support components that would be delivered collaboratively through the Extension system, including programming support, evaluation support, technology-related support, and broader technical assistance. Taken together, this indicates a strong focus on helping local projects adopt effective program models, measure outcomes and improve performance using evaluation data, use technology in ways that strengthen delivery and learning, and solve operational challenges that can keep community-based initiatives from lasting.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number USDA NIFA SLBCD 006630 and CFDA 10.500, with an agriculture activity category designation through USDA NIFA. The funding instrument is a grant, and the agency expected to make one award. The listed award ceiling is $872,900. The notice shows a creation date of June 22, 2018, with an original closing date of July 27, 2018. Eligibility is labeled broadly as "Others," with the expectation that applicants would need to consult the full eligibility language in the official notice (referenced as the Additional Information on Eligibility section) for precise requirements.
Overall, CYFAR-PDTA is best understood as an investment in the infrastructure behind youth and family programming: it funds a lead partner to equip and support multiple CYFAR Sustainable Community Projects with training, evaluation methods, technology resources, and hands-on technical help, with the larger goal of sustaining holistic, community-rooted services for at-risk and under-resourced children, youth, and families.Apply for USDA NIFA SLBCD 006630
