New Regional Impact Stories Available for Download We are pleased to share with you a regional compilation of data for the EXCITE project. These infographics are intended to provide an understanding of the regional and national effort. This data originates from the monthly reports also available on the EXCITE Dashboard that each of the institutions provides and is inclusive through July,2022.
There is also additional space that an individual institution can utilize with their project information on the second page. Each region has a file folder that contains images of the front and back design, an Adobe InDesign File, and a PDF version. We invite you to utilize the Adobe InDesign File and update as needed, while maintaining logos for Cooperative Extension and the Extension Foundation. The files are available for download at this link. |

NextGen Funding Opportunity The primary goal of the From Learning to Leading: Cultivating the Next Generation of Diverse Food and Agriculture Professionals Program (NEXTGEN) is to enable 1890 Land-grant institutions, 1994 Land-grant institutions, Alaska Native-serving institutions and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, Hispanic-serving institutions, and insular area institutions of higher education located in the U.S. territories to engage, recruit, retain, train, and support students to help build and sustain the next generation of the food, agriculture, natural resources, and human sciences (FANH) workforce including the future USDA workforce. We think there are many opportunities for EXCITE projects to apply for this funding to help sustain their long term project efforts, as many projects are already partnered with students. We want to make sure health and human science projects are represented in this effort! See more information on support for applying to this opportunity here. |
