Description

The New Technologies for Ag Extension (NTAE) Competitive Grants Program RFA for fiscal year (FY) 2019 provides funding for a cooperative agreement that contributes to “Enhancing Electronic Extension (E3),” a national web-based information and education delivery system. E3 engages land-grant institutions and the Cooperative Extension Service to provide objective, scientific information to the public that answer questions and guide decisions.

By creating web-based access to high-quality, non-duplicative, research-based information, E3 can help better serve the needs of the public seeking real-time information.
