Education Innovation Grants
What is the Education Innovation grant program?
Proposals to the Education Innovation Network (EIN) grant program should emphasize new approaches and innovation in outreach education and service. Generally, EIN projects focus on expanding use of existing technology and information.
Examples include technical assistance, business planning and management, information transfer, and implementation of new technology, production practices and management strategies.
Efforts should focus on outreach to an underserved audience, or dissemination of underutilized information and technology.
Priority goes to proposals that include farmer participation across agriculture sectors, commodities, production and management systems, or regions of the state.
Grant eligibility
Eligible grant applicants include farmers, producer groups, researchers, educators, organizations, agencies and businesses. Applicants may represent nonprofit or for-profit sectors.
Projects should work with New York State resident farmers and outcomes should benefit agriculture in the state.
