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.

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 structural shift it represents — universities financing the work the federal government has stopped financing — has implications for principal investigators at every research-intensive institution.
