Administered by USDA-NIFA since the 1998, the Multistate Research Fund supports agricultural innovation and sustainability by providing federal funds to collaborative research projects led by State Agricultural Experiment Stations and land-grant universities. These projects bring together scientists, Extension educators, and other university, federal, and industry partners to tackle high-priority regional or national issues in agriculture.

​

The Multistate Research Fund Impacts Program communicates the impacts and importance of these projects to the public.
