Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA TS RMED 2016
This grant opportunity, titled "Crop Insurance Education in Targeted States" (Funding Opportunity Number: USDA TS RMED 2016), is a discretionary federal funding program offered through USDA Risk Management Education. It supports projects that provide practical crop insurance education and outreach to agricultural producers in states where participation in the Federal crop insurance program has historically been low and where access and availability have remained limited. The overall aim is to close knowledge and service gaps so that underserved producers in these regions better understand crop insurance options, how coverage works, and how to use insurance as part of broader risk management planning.
The program specifically focuses on a defined list of "Targeted States" identified in the request for applications. For this opportunity, the targeted states are Alaska, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming. Proposals are expected to concentrate their education and information delivery efforts within these states, reflecting the program's intent to improve awareness, participation, and effective use of federal crop insurance where producers are more likely to be underserved.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period compared with a standard grant. The activity category is education, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 10.458. Eligible applicants are listed as "unrestricted," suggesting a broad range of organizations may apply as long as they can carry out the required education and outreach work and meet application requirements. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $700,000, and it anticipates making around 50 awards, indicating the program is structured to fund multiple projects that can reach different producer groups and geographies across the targeted states.
A key administrative requirement is the application submission method. Applications must be submitted through the Results Verification System (RVS) operated at https://rvs.umn.edu/Home.aspx. Submissions sent through Grants.gov are explicitly stated as not acceptable, so applicants need to plan around that system requirement to avoid disqualification. The original closing date for the opportunity was July 5, 2016, and the posting (creation) date was May 5, 2016, which helps place the timeline and shows it was a time-limited competitive funding round.Apply for USDA TS RMED 2016
