Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NIFA EXCA 005963
The Navy Youth Sports and Fitness and Virtual Youth Program (YSF) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA). For fiscal year 2016, the program sought proposals to deliver consistent youth sports, fitness, and virtual youth programming for children and teens ages 6 through 18. The emphasis is on programming that reflects positive youth development principles, meaning activities are expected to do more than just provide recreation. They should intentionally support healthy growth and development, such as building skills, confidence, and constructive behaviors through structured, age-appropriate engagement.
Awards under this opportunity were to be made through a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates a more hands-on partnership between the federal agency and the recipient than a standard grant. In practical terms, applicants should have been prepared for ongoing coordination, shared responsibilities, and potential federal involvement in program direction, implementation, or evaluation, depending on the terms negotiated in the agreement.
Eligibility was broad. NIFA indicated that applications could come from state agricultural experiment stations, cooperative extension services, and colleges and universities, as well as other research or educational institutions and organizations. The opportunity also allowed federal and private agencies and organizations, individuals, and essentially any other domestic or foreign recipient to apply, as long as the proposed work furthered research, extension, or teaching programs connected to USDA food and agriculture sciences. That framing signals that, even though the project focus is youth sports and virtual youth programming, proposals likely needed to connect their approach to educational, developmental, or community-based methods consistent with NIFA's broader mission and program authorities.
The opportunity was listed under CFDA 10.500 (a NIFA umbrella for extension and related work), with an original application closing date of August 4, 2016. The public listing did not specify an award ceiling or the expected number of awards, which means applicants would have needed to consult the full announcement for budget expectations, program scope, required deliverables, reporting, and evaluation standards. The funding opportunity number for this announcement was USDA NIFA EXCA 005963, and it was posted on July 21, 2016.Apply for USDA NIFA EXCA 005963
