NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE RESEARCH AND EDUCATION ACTIVITIES 2018 appropriation ................................................................887,171,000 2019 budget estimate .......................................................... 794,479,000 Provided in the bill ............................................................... 920,012,000 Comparison: 2018 appropriation ................................................ +32,841,000 2019 budget estimate ............................................ +125,533,000 COMMITTEE PROVISIONS For Research and Education Activities, the Committee provides an appropriation of $920,012,000 NIFA Program Authorities and Consolidation Report. The Committee notes that the FY18 Consolidated Appropriations Act and report contains fifty appropriated lines covering the entirety of the agricultural research, education and extension realm. In addition, NIFA administers the Specialty Crop Research Initiative and Beginning Farmers and Ranchers Program. The Committee is concerned that some of these programs are duplicative or can be executed under the broad authorities of the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative, Evans-Allen Program, 1890 s Extension, and Hatch and Smith-Lever Acts. In addition, the Committee notes that USDA s annual budget submission routinely proposes the elimination of many of the smaller NIFA programs. Accordingly, the Committee directs NIFA to provide a report by September 30, 2019 that details the authority under which each funded NIFA program is administered and whether that program (its goals or priorities), or the challenges each program is intended to address, can be achieved under the authorities of the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative, Evans-Allen Program, 1890 s Extension, and Hatch and Smith-Lever Acts or other appropriate programs.
