** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** THE U.S. IS CURRENTLY FACING A SUBSTANTIAL SHORTFALL OF TALENTED WORKFORCE IN THE FOOD, AGRICULTURE, AND NATURAL RESOURCES SECTORS IN THE NEAR FUTURE. DEMAND FOR A DIVERSE TALENTED WORKFORCE FURTHER STRAINS THE SUPPLY OF NEXT GENERATION AGRICULTURE WORKFORCE. MOTIVATING YOUNG, TALENTED MINORITY STUDENTS TO JOIN THE WORKFORCE IN AGRICULTURE IS PIVOTAL TO MAINTAIN THE COMPETITIVENESS OF U.S. FOOD AND AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY AND ITS SUSTAINABILITY. IN RESPONSE, A CONSORTIUM OF HIGHLY QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS FROM TWO 1890 HBCUS AND TWO 1862 UNIVERSITIES INCLUDING ONE HISPANIC SERVING INSTITUTION (HSI) WILL BE FORMED TO DIRECTLY ADDRESS THE AGRICULTURAL WORKFORCE SHORTAGE. SIGNIFICANTLY, THE CONSORTIUM INCLUDES THE ONLY TWO HBCUS IN THE NORTH CENTRAL REGION THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO REACH A SIGNIFICANT POOL OF UNDERREPRESENTED POPULATIONS AND AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITIES. THE CONSORTIUM WILL FOCUS ON TRAINING STUDENTS TO ADDRESS CRITICAL CHALLENGES IN FOOD AND AGRICULTURE IN A SCALABLE AND SUSTAINABLE PLATFORM. THE NEW PARADIGM WILL UNPRECEDENTEDLY LEVERAGE THE SYNERGISTIC CAPABILITIES OF RESEARCH, TEACHING, AND EXTENSION OF MULTIPLE INSTITUTIONS TO MEET FUTURE CHALLENGES IN FOOD SECURITY, CLIMATE CHANGE, ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, AND CLIMATE SMART AGRICULTURE. SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES FOR THIS PROJECT INCLUDE, I) DEVELOPMENT OF CROSS-INSTITUTIONAL EMERGENT ONLINE/OFFLINE COURSES, II) STRENGTHENING OF IMMERSION EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING AND OUTREACH ACTIVITIES FOR BOTH UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE STUDENTS; III) EXPOSURE TO ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES IN MODERN AGRICULTURE FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS; IV) CREATION OF 2-YEAR COMMUNITY COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS AND RESEARCH/EXTENSION EXPERIENCES; V) TRAINING SCIENTISTS IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS; AND VI) ESTABLISHING INTERNSHIP PROGRAM IN STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES. IF SUCCESSFUL, THIS PROPOSED PROJECT WILL SUBSTANTIALLY CONTRIBUTE TO A DIVERSE WORKFORCE FOR FOOD AND AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY.

THE UNIVERSITY IS PROPOSING ONE MAJOR OBJECTIVE AND ONE MINOR OBJECTIVE FOR USE OF THESE FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,185,482 EACH YEAR FOR A TOTAL OF $5,927,410. THE OBJECTIVES INCLUDE:THE FIRST OBJECTIVE IS TO CONSTRUCT AN 18,000 SQ. FT. MULTI-PURPOSE FACILITY. THE UNIVERSITY CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE ADEQUATE SPACES TO SUPPORT THE ACTIVITIES OF ITS EXPANDED COOPERATIVE RESEARCH AND EXTENSION PROGRAM FOR THE 1890 LAND-GRANT MISSION. A NEW FACILITY IS NEEDED WITH THE APPROPRIATE TYPE OF SPACES FOR HOSTING EXTENSION ACTIVITIES, CONDUCTING RESEARCH, AND TEACHING CLASSES. THE AMOUNT OF $1,125,482 WILL BE USED EACH YEAR DURING THIS CYCLE TO ACCRUE WITH THE NEXT 5 YEAR CYCLE. DURING THIS 5 YEAR CYCLE, PROGRAMMING AND DESIGN OF THE NEW FACILITY WILL BE COMPLETED. BIDDING AND CONSTRUCTION WILL BE COMPLETED DURING THE FY23-FY27 GRANT CYCLE FOR A MAXIMUM LENGTH OF TEN YEARS. TOTAL COST OF THE NEW FACILITY WITH APPROPRIATE PARKING IS ESTIMATED AT $11,554,820.00.THE SECOND OBJECTIVE IS FOR CONTINUATION OF REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS AT EXISTING RESEARCH AND EXTENSION FACILITIES. REPAIRS/REPLACEMENTS MAY INCLUDE PAINTING, ROOFING, FLOOR COVERING, MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL/PLUMBING SYSTEMS, ETC. FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $60,000 ARE BEING SET ASIDE EACH YEAR FOR A TOTAL OF $300,000 FOR USE AS NEEDED DURING THIS 5 YEAR CYCLE.THESE PROJECTS ARE CRITICALLY NEEDED IN ORDER TO CONTINUE AND STRENGTHEN THE THREE COMPONENTS OF UNIVERSITY'S 1890 LAND-GRANT PROGRAM - EXTENSION, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH.

MISSOURI IS WELL-KNOWN FOR THE RICHNESS OF ITS NATURAL RESOURCES THAT ARE ESSENTIAL TO TO THE ECONOMIC VITALITY OF THE STATE AND THE WELL-BEING OF ITS CITIZENS. THE HEALTH OF AIR, LAND/SOIL, AND WATER RESOURCES DIRECTLY IMPACTS AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITY AND RURAL QUALITY OF LIFE. THESE RESOURCES FACE INCREASING PRESSURE FROM INPUT-DEPENDENT, HIGHLY SPECIALIZED CROP AND LIVESTOCK SYSTEMS COMBINED WITH VARIABLE WEATHER CONDITIONS SUCH AS RECORD-SETTING TEMPERATURES, FLOODING, AND DROUGHTS. THESE CHALLENGES POSE SIGNIFICANT RISKS TO THE SUSTAINABLE PROVISION OF FOOD, CLEAN WATER, AND OTHER ESSENTIAL SERVICES FOR MISSOURIANS. IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE USDA-NIFA'S RESEARCH PRIORITIES, LINCOLN UNIVERSITY'S COOPERATIVE RESEARCH (LUCR) PROGRAM HAS BEEN CONDUCTING RESEARCH IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS: 1) ANIMAL SCIENCE, 2) SOIL HEALTH AND CROP SCIENCES, 3) FOOD NUTRITION AND SAFETY, 4) NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, AND 5) SOCIAL-ECONOMICS. LUCR AIMS TO CONTINUE DEVELOPING IMPACTFUL, INNOVATIVE, AND MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH PROGRAMS THAT EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS EMERGING AND CRITICAL ISSUES FACING MISSOURI'S NATURAL RESOURCES, AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY, AND RURAL COMMUNITIES AS WELL AS STRENGTHEN LINCOLN UNIVERSITY'S CAPACITY TO BETTER ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF MISSOURI FARMERS AND RANCHERS. LUCR FACULTY MEMBERS CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF RESILIENT AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD SYSTEMS THAT SUSTAIN PRODUCTION, IMPROVE ECOSYSTEM HEALTH, AND SAFEGUARD HUMAN HEALTH. THE PROGRAM EMPHASIZES PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS FOR SMALL FARMERS, RANCHERS, AND FOREST LANDOWNERS TO IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY AND ADAPT TO CHANGING AGRICULTURAL CONDITIONS. OF THE SIX CRITICAL ISSUES IDENTIFIED, LUCR CAPACITY RESEARCH EFFORTS ARE PRIMARILY FOCUSED ON: 1) SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE SYSTEMS - INCLUDING SMALL RUMINANT BREEDING, GRAZING MANAGEMENT, POULTRY OPERATIONS, AQUACULTURE, HYDROPONICS, INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT, SPECIALTY CROPS, VEGETABLE DISEASE CONTROL, AND ORGANIC FARMING. 2) NATURAL RESOURCE STEWARDSHIP - INCLUDING SOIL HEALTH, AGROFORESTRY, AND TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS SUCH AS GIS AND REMOTE SENSING TO IMPROVE LAND MANAGEMENT. 3) HEALTH AND FOOD SAFETY - INCLUDING SENSOR DEVELOPMENT FOR DETECTION OF FOODBORNE PATHOGENS, DRINKING WATER QUALITY, AND MONITORING OF CONTAMINANTS RELEVANT TO AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION. THE OVERALL GOAL OF CAPACITY RESEARCH EFFORTS IN THE LUCR PROGRAM IS TO HELP FARMERS AND RURAL COMMUNITIES ADOPT MANAGEMENT PRACTICES THAT STRENGTHEN AGRICULTURAL SUSTAINABILITY, IMPROVE NATURAL RESOURCE STEWARDSHIP, AND PROTECT HUMAN HEALTH THROUGH SAFE FOOD AND WATER SYSTEMS. CONTINUED SUPPORT FROM NIFA AND THE STATE OF MISSOURI IS CRITICAL TO EXPANDING LINCOLN UNIVERSITY'S RESEARCH CAPACITY AND ENSURING THAT MISSOURI'S FARMERS AND RANCHERS-PARTICULARLY SMALL-SCALE PRODUCERS-HAVE THE TOOLS AND KNOWLEDGE NEEDED TO THRIVE IN THE FACE OF AGRICULTURAL CHALLENGES

MISSOURI IS WELL-KNOWN FOR THE DIVERSITY OF ITS NATURAL RESOURCES THAT ARE ESSENTIAL TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC VITALITY OF THE STATE. THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE STATE'S CITIZENS ALSO DEPENDS ON THE HEALTH OF ITS NATURAL RESOURCES AND THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT, PARTICULARLY THAT OF THE AIR, LAND/SOIL, AND WATER RESOURCES. HOWEVER, THESE RESOURCES AND THE ENVIRONMENT ARE EXPERIENCING INCREASED PRESSURE DUE TO THE DOMINANCE OF INPUT (E.G., SYNTHETIC FERTILIZERS, TILLAGE, PESTICIDES)-DEPENDENT, HIGHLY SPECIALIZED CROP AND LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION SYSTEMS COMBINED WITH CLIMATE CHANGE-RELATED STRESSORS (E.G., RECORD SETTING HIGH AND LOW TEMPERATURES, FLOODING, AND DROUGHTS) - ALL OF WHICH HAVE POSED A SIGNIFICANT THREAT TO THE SUSTAINABLE PROVISION OF GOODS (E.G., FOOD PRODUCTION AND FOOD SAFETY) AND SERVICES (E.G., CLEAN AIR AND WATER) FOR THE MISSOURIANS. IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE USDA-NIFA'S RESEARCH PRIORITIES, LINCOLN UNIVERSITY'S COOPERATIVE RESEARCH (LUCR) PROGRAM HAS BEEN CONDUCTING RESEARCH IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS: 1) ANIMAL SCIENCE, 2) SOIL HEALTH AND CROP SCIENCES, 3) FOOD NUTRITION AND SAFETY, 4) NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, AND 5) SOCIAL-ECONOMICS. LUCR AIMS TO CONTINUE DEVELOPING IMPACTFUL, INNOVATIVE, AND MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH PROGRAMS THAT EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS EMERGING AND CRITICAL ISSUES FACING MISSOURI'S NATURAL RESOURCES, AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY, AND RURAL COMMUNITIES AS WELL AS STRENGTHEN LINCOLN UNIVERSITY'S CAPACITY TO BETTER ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF MISSOURI FARMERS AND RANCHERS. LUCR FACULTY MEMBERS HAVE BEEN CONTRIBUTING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF CLIMATE-RESILIENT AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD SYSTEMS FOR SUSTAINING PRODUCTION, ENHANCING ECOSYSTEM HEALTH, AND SAFEGUARDING HUMAN HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE FOR MISSOURI RESIDENTS. THE LUCR PROGRAM AND ITS MULTIFACETED RESEARCH PROJECTS SPECIFICALLY TARGET THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED, WHILE ALSO CONTRIBUTING TO THE DIVERSITY OF THE NATION'S FUTURE STEM-AGRICULTURAL WORKFORCE. OF THE SIX CRITICAL ISSUES IDENTIFIED, LUCR CAPACITY RESEARCH EFFORTS ARE PRIMARILY FOCUSED ON THE FOLLOWING THREE AREAS: 1) SUSTAINABLE AND RESILIENT AGRICULTURE SYSTEMS, 2) ENVIRONMENTAL AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AND 3) HEALTH AND HEALTHY FUTURES. UNDER THE CRITICAL ISSUE OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, LUCR CURRENT CAPACITY RESEARCH PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN INITIATED AND APPROVED BY NIFA ARE FOCUSED ON THE AREAS OF CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS, SOIL HEALTH AND REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE, AGROFORESTRY, RENEWABLE BIOENERGY, AND GIS/REMOTE SENSING TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS. ONGOING CAPACITY RESEARCH PROJECTS UNDER THE CRITICAL ISSUE OF SUSTAINABLE AND RESILIENT AGRICULTURE SYSTEMS ARE FOCUSED ON THE FOLLOWING AREAS: SMALL RUMINANT (SHEEP/GOAT) BREEDING, PRODUCTIVE PHYSIOLOGY, GRAZING MANA GEMENT, POULTRY OPERATION, AQUACULTURE, HYDROPONIC OPERATION, INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT, SPECIALTY CROPS AND VALUE-ADDED PRODUCTS, EMERGENT VEGETABLE DISEASE CONTROL, AND ORGANIC FARMING. CAPACITY RESEARCH PROJECTS UNDER THE CRITICAL ISSUE OF HEALTH AND HEALTHY FUTURES ARE CURRENTLY FOCUSED ON THE AREAS OF SENSOR DEVELOPMENT FOR DETECTION OF FOODBORNE PATHOGENS, DRINKING WATER QUALITY AND SAFETY, AND EMERGING ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINANTS. THE OVERALL GOAL OF CAPACITY RESEARCH EFFORTS IN THE LUCR PROGRAM IS TO HELP FARMERS AND RURAL COMMUNITIES - ESPECIALLY SMALL FARMERS, RANCHERS, AND FOREST LANDOWNERS - ADOPT CLIMATE-SMART MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCE OF AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCES TO WITHSTAND INCREASINGLY VARIABLE WEATHER CONDITIONS, PROMOTE ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS AND ECOSYSTEM HEALTH, AND PROTECT HUMAN HEALTH FROM FOOD AND DRINKING WATER CONTAMINATION. CONTINUED FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM BOTH NIFA AND THE STATE OF MISSOURI IS THEREFORE CRITICAL TO STRENGTHEN THE RESEARCH CAPACITY OF LINCOLN UNIVERSITY TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF MISSOURI'S FARMERS AND RANCHERS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED AND UNDERSERVED.

** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** OBJECTIVE 1THE CONSTRUCTION OF A MEAT SCIENCE FACILITY (MSF).THE PRODUCTION OF SMALL RUMINANTS HAS BEEN A NICHE MARKET FOR LINCOLN UNIVERSITY'S TARGET AUDIENCE OF SMALL-SCALE PRODUCERS. LU WILL CONSTRUCT A MEAT SCIENCE FACILITY (MSF) TO SERVE THAT AUDIENCE. THE MSF WILL INCLUDE CLASSROOM SPACE FOR EXPERIENTIAL TEACHING AND DEMONSTRATIONS INCLUDING AN EXTENSION OF THE CARCASS RAIL SYSTEM TO ALLOW ANIMAL CARCASSES TO BE USED. THE MSF WILL ALLOW LU TO DEVELOP A MEAT SCIENCES CURRICULUM AS WELL AS CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS RELATED TO MEAT CUTTING AND PROCESSING. THE 2020 COVID PANDEMIC HAS INCREASED CONSUMER DEMAND FOR MEATS PRODUCED LOCALLY. THE PRODUCERS WORKING TO SUPPLY THIS DEMAND RELY ON SMALL MEAT PROCESSING PLANTS LOCATED WITHIN THEIR RURAL COMMUNITIES. THIS TREND HAS CREATED DEMAND FOR LOCALLY PROCESSED MEATS THAT NOW EXCEEDS THE CAPACITY OF THE EXISTING PROCESSING PLANTS; THEREBY, CREATING A NEED FOR MORE MEAT PROCESSING FACILITIES FOR SMALL RUMINANTS AND OTHER SPECIES SUCH AS BEEF, POULTRY, AND PORK.OBJECTIVE 2THE CONSTRUCTION OF A SMALL-SCALE INDUSTRIAL HEMP FACILITY (IHF).HEMP IS A MULTIPURPOSE CROP WITH HIGH POTENTIAL FOR ECONOMIC BENEFITS TO THE FARMERS. THE U.S IS THE LARGEST IMPORTER OF HEMP PRODUCTS, MAINLY SEED AND FIBER. THE USE OF SPECIFIC METABOLITES IN COSMETICS AND HUMAN HEALTH HAS FURTHER INCREASED ITS DOMESTIC DEMAND. THE CROP PRODUCTION TO MEET THE DOMESTIC DEMAND IS HINDERED BY SEVERAL BOTTLENECKS INCLUDING LIMITED SPECIFIC EQUIPMENT OR PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY AND FACILITIES. FURTHERMORE, WHEN HEMP WAS RECENTLY REINTRODUCED IN MISSOURI AFTER MORE THAN 100 YEARS, SEED BANKS HAD BEEN DESTROYED. THERE IS LIMITED AVAILABLE KNOWLEDGE ON ADAPTED CULTIVARS AND CORRECT PRODUCTION PRACTICES.LINCOLN UNIVERSITY'S CAPACITY IN AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH WAS BOOSTED BY STATEWIDE SUPPORT IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE LINCOLN UNIVERSITY HEMP INSTITUTE (LUHI). THE GOAL OF LUHI IS TO BUILD A SMALL-SCALE IHF WHERE RESEARCH CAN BE CONDUCTED ON PROCESSING HEMP FIBERS,HEMP GRAINS, AND HEMP FLOWERS. LABORATORIES, CLASSROOM SPACE, AND FIBER/GRAIN PROCESSING UNITS WILL AID IN THE EXPERIENTIAL TEACHING AND DEMONSTRATION OF THESE PROCESSES. ADDITIONALLY, THE LHI WILL ALLOW LU TO DEVELOP CURRICULUM AS WELL AS CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS RELATED TO HEMP GENETICS, PRODUCTION, TESTING, AND PROCESSING.IDEALLY, THE FACILITY WILL ANCHOR THE INDUSTRIAL HEMP OPPORTUNITIES IN THE MIDWEST, THUS BENEFITING FARMERS, ESPECIALLY MINORITY AND SMALL FARMERS, CREATING JOBS, AND PROVIDING HEMP PROCESSING SUPPORT TO THE INDUSTRY.?OBJECTIVE 3THE CONTINUATION OF REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS TO EXISTING RESEARCH AND EXTENSION FACILITIES.SEVERAL OF THE EXISTING RESEARCH AND EXTENSION FACILITIES ON CAMPUS AND SATELLITE OFFICES ARE MORE THAN FORTY YEARS OLD. MANY OF THE BUILDINGS HAVE SURVIVED TORNADOES, HAIL, EXTREME COLD, AND VANDALISM.THE CURRENT FLOORING IS THE ORIGINAL, OLD COMPOSITION VINYL TILES. SEVERAL BUILDINGS ARE CONSTRUCTED ON OLD FOUNDATIONS WHICH CAUSES MULTIPLE PROBLEMS (I.E,., FLOORS OUT OF LEVEL, WATER SEEPAGE, PLUMBING AND SEWER, ETC.).OTHER EXAMPLES OF RENOVATIONS NEEDED INCLUDE REPLACING OUTDATED MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL, AND PLUMBING AND SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEMS, PAINTING OFFICES AND MEETING ROOMS, ROOF AND GUTTER REPAIRS, CONVERSIONS OF UNUSED SPACE TO CRITICAL OFFICE SPACE, AND REPLACING OUTDATED/OBSOLETE OFFICE EQUIPMENT.
