Purpose

The Tribal Colleges Extension Special Emphasis Program provides funding for extension projects at 1994 Land-Grant Institutions. Special emphasis projects allow extension offices to be responsive to community needs through projects that address youth, agriculture, economic development, or other issues important to stakeholders.

Projects that incorporate social and behavioral sciences are encouraged in order to address the challenges facing agriculture and rural communities, such as increasing global demand for food production in the face of limited natural resources; improving health and reducing obesity by engaging in healthy lifestyles and consuming healthy diets; and alleviating poverty by fostering economic opportunity.

Previous projects have addressed:

  • Tribal youth development
  • Workforce training for tribal communities
  • Rural development and community counseling for opioids and other factors that affect rural communities
  • Rural prosperity, safety, and economic development through healthy communities
  • Access to a safe, nutritious, and secure food supply
  • Stewardship of lands through extension and outreach
  • Other tribal priority areas that relate to agriculture and natural resources
  • Social and behavioral sciences
