Department of Agriculture lists all USDA grants, including community development grants.
USDA currently spends about $1.7 billion in research related to the nation's
food, fiber and natural resources. Of this amount, $120 million is spent
on peer-reviewed, merit-based research grants via USDA's National Research
Initiative (NRI) program.
- USDA National Research Initiative
Grants
NRI is the nation's biggest
supporter of food, fiber, and natural-resources research. Areas
supported include agricultural systems science (including sustainability issues);
agriculture-related environmental issues; plant and animal genomics,
food safety and nutrition (including "nutriceuticals" and
genetic nutrition enhancement); animal and plant diseases; entomology,
nematology, soil biology, and other areas of biology related
to food production, and more. NRI supports regular research
grants, new-faculty awards, and post-doctoral fellowships.
- Sustainable
Agriculture Research and Education
Research funded under
the SARE program is very applied, and grants are typically small.
Grants are often made to small non-profits, or even to
individuals lacking institutional affiliation, but universities can
also qualify.
- Rural Information Center The "Internet Resources" section of A Guide to Funding Resources includes links to searchable databases offering funding opportunities from government and/or private sources that are available to local governments, community organizations, and individuals. It provides web links to more than sixty full-text online guides, manuals, and tips to assist grantwriters prepare successful proposals. The section of "Additional Resources" is a bibliographic listing of published grant writing resources and funding directories.

- Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
DARPA supports a lot of research, but it also gets a lot of proposals. DARPA receives "some tens of meters" of proposal materials each year. About one third of "white papers" (10-page pre-proposals suggested by DARPA) submitted result in requests for full proposals. About one-third of those full proposals get funded--so DARPA's funding rate is only slightly better than 10%.
- Air Force Office of ScientificResearch
You don't have to be interested in weapons systems to get a grant from them; your
research just has to have a potential application in national defense. They also like to
fund research at historically minority colleges and universities. Major categories of
research interest include aerospace, materials science, various areas of applied physics,
electronics, chemistry--especially chemistry that relates to materials science--various areas of
neuroscience, applied math, and what they call "Space Science."
- Army Research Office
The ARO calls for proposals in several disciplinary areas: chemistry,
electronics, environmental sciences, life sciences, materials science, mathematical and
computer sciences, "mechanical sciences," and physics. Areas of interest within these disciplines are
very similar to NSF's, though the focus in some cases is a bit more applied.
ARO's Young Investigator Program (YIP) provides $50,000 per year for 3 years
to scientists in their first 5 years of a tenure-track faculty position
in the sciences.
