Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative - Workshop Grants
Last verified by NonDilute: 2026-06-08. Official notice and agency instructions control.
If you can convene agriculture researchers around a timely genomics or phenomics challenge and have a track record organizing workshops, you have a straightforward path to $20–50K in federal support.

What this is
The AG2PI Workshop Grants program supports short-term collaborative events (workshops, symposia, training sessions) that bring together researchers to advance understanding of agriculturally important crop and animal genetics, phenomics, and germplasm resources. Funding ranges from $20,000–$50,000 and emphasizes knowledge dissemination, capacity building, and gap-filling in current agricultural genomics research. This is ideal for organizing focused working groups, training programs, or convenings rather than conducting independent research projects.
Who can apply
Eligibility is broad and explicitly includes types beyond traditional academic institutions. Consult the 'Additional Information on Eligibility' section in the original RFP for full clarification; universities, non-profits, small businesses, and research organizations are likely eligible, but sole proprietorships and established companies may face restrictions.
