10.511
The Smith-Lever Special Needs Competitive Grants Program (SLSNCGP), Assistance supports innovative, education-based approaches to address disaster preparedness and specific responses related to disasters or disaster threats caused by natural, human-made, or technological hazards, or by other factors that contribute to the exposure or vulnerability of a community. The goals and objectives of SLSNCGP include supporting quality of life in communities across the U.S. by addressing disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation in food and agricultural systems. The SLSNCGP also seeks to continue to provide information and resources to USDA target audiences, stakeholders, and collaborators to improve decision-making before, during, and after disasters. The Joint Cooperative Extension Programs at 1862 Land-grant Institutions and University of the District of Columbia Public Postsecondary Education Reorganization Act Program (DCPPERA) supports cooperative agricultural extension activities at Land-grant Institutions. The Cooperative Extension Programs at 1862 Land-grant Institutions (Smith-Lever Special Needs) (SLSN) program supports innovative, education-based approaches to addressing extension education and services to these limited resource farm families to help them achieve desirable results. Methods may include, but are not limited to, collaboration with other organizations, appraising resources for capability of improvement in agriculture or introduction of industry designed to supplement farm income, other new farming ventures or new technologies. The SLSN program seeks to increase the level of agricultural extension activities and reach out to limited resource farm families at a disadvantage for agricultural development because their operations are too small, have low productivity, or are unable to make adjustments to establish profitable operations or profitable employment.
