Secretary Rollins and NIFA opened the FY26 Research Facilities Act Program on June 15 with a four-tier award structure scaling from $100K planning grants to $30M facility complexes. The dollar-for-dollar cash match, the one-project-per-institution rule, and the 32-day application window are reshaping how land-grants will prioritize their long-deferred capital backlog.
Read articleOn June 15, 2026, USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins and Education Secretary Linda McMahon announced the FY 2026 funding opportunity for the Research Facilities Act Program — $125 million annually, drawn from the Working Families Tax Cuts legislation, with applications due July 17. The Research Facilities Act has been authorized since 1963 but has never had a reliable annual appropriation; it has run on year-to-year discretionary funding measured in single-digit millions for most of its history. 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.
Read articleJohns Hopkins announced on June 3 that its Pivot and Bridge Program — funded at $12.5 million annually since April 2025 — has been replaced by a Research Resilience Fund capitalized at $60 million per year for two years.

The expansion follows a 43% year-over-year drop in Hopkins's federal research awards and a $500 million decline in the value of its multiyear federal research portfolio. The structural shift it represents — universities financing the work the federal government has stopped financing — has implications for principal investigators at every research-intensive institution.
