The FY 2026 announcement converts a sixty-year-old authority into a recurring infrastructure program aimed at the deferred-maintenance backlog at 1862, 1890, and 1994 land-grant universities. Here is what land-grant institutions, ag-research consortia, and state agricultural experiment stations need to know before July 17.
