AFRI Education and Workforce Development (EWD)
Supports workforce and educational training for early-career researchers through fellowships and skill programs.
AFRI EWD funds fellowships (predoctoral A7101, postdoctoral A7201), workforce training grants, and food/agricultural literacy programs under the AFRI umbrella. Sub-codes include Agricultural Workforce Training at Community Colleges (A7601), Food and Agricultural Non-formal Education (A7801), Research and Extension Experiences for Undergraduates (A7401), and Professional Development for Agricultural Literacy (A7501). The FY2026 EWD NOFO was posted January 20, 2026 and closes December 31, 2026. Specific sub-code deadlines range from March to April 2026 (postdoctoral fellowship A7201 closes 4/30/2026). This program is less founder-relevant and primarily targets academic and extension institutions.
