The Scientific Exchange Program (SEP) leverages the latest developments in cross-cutting agricultural priorities, research, and technologies to educate a new generation of agricultural scientist to promote trade, trade policy, trade capacity building, and food security. The collaborative nature of the SEP leadership training and research programs improves agricultural productivity, systems, and processes in partnering emerging market economies through the transfer of new science and agricultural technologies. SEP focuses on a cohort of Fellows who spend up to 12 weeks at the U.S. academic institution (host institution) and work directly with U.S. scientists in their fields. For fiscal year 2024, USDA/FAS is seeking proposals that (1) promote the mentorship and leadership role of women researchers and scientists in food systems and, (2) that strengthen the science and evidence-base for the role and needs of women in food systems, including as it relates to climate change.

Past winners and funding trends for this program
OMB and roughly 40 agencies have proposed the most sweeping overhaul of 2 CFR Part 200 in more than a decade. Political appointees would pre-review notices of funding opportunity and discretionary awards, agencies gain near-unappealable 'national interest' termination authority, and federal funds can no longer support collaborations with covered foreign entities. The rule drew nearly half a million comments and is slated to take effect October 1, 2026. Here is what actually changes, who is exposed, and how to write proposals that survive the new regime.
Read articleS. 3971 reauthorized SBIR/STTR through 2031 after the longest lapse in the program's history. Buried inside are a new $30M Strategic Breakthrough Award, per-company proposal caps arriving in FY2027, eight-watchlist foreign-risk screening, and bigger TABA budgets.

Read articleThe May 29 OMB rewrite of 2 CFR Part 200 extends what has been a NASA-specific restriction since 2011 to every federal grant-making agency. Proposed §200.220 prohibits use of federal funds for collaboration with entities in or controlled by a 'covered foreign country' — currently the People's Republic of China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela. Proposed §200.202(e) requires senior political appointee written approval before any federal R&D award flows to a foreign entity. Together they reshape university international research operations more comprehensively than any policy change since the 2018 China Initiative. Comment deadline July 13.
