Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA AMS TM SCMP G 21 0005
The Specialty Crop Multi-State Program (SCMP) is a competitive grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) through the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) for fiscal year 2021. Its core purpose is to strengthen the competitiveness of U.S. specialty crops by funding projects that are collaborative in nature and designed to operate across multiple states. The program is aimed at efforts that tackle challenges or opportunities that are regional or national in scope rather than strictly local, encouraging partners to work together to solve shared problems and produce benefits that extend beyond a single state.
SCMP funding focuses on several major issue areas tied to specialty crops. Priority topics include improving food safety practices and systems, addressing plant pests and diseases that threaten crop production, supporting research efforts that have clear applicability to specialty crop industries, and developing crop-specific projects that confront common issues affecting growers and supply chains across states. In addition to production and protection concerns, the program also supports marketing and promotion activities intended to expand demand, improve market access, and strengthen the overall position of specialty crops in domestic and potentially broader markets.
This opportunity is classified as a discretionary grant (meaning awards are made through a competitive selection process), and it falls under the agriculture funding activity category. The program is associated with CFDA number 10.175. For this funding cycle, the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $1,000,000 per project, and AMS anticipated making about 10 awards, indicating that only a limited number of strong, multi-state proposals would be funded.
Eligibility is broad and includes public sector entities and mission-driven organizations that can coordinate multi-state work. Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, and special district governments, as well as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. Federally recognized Native American tribal governments are also eligible, along with nonprofit organizations that hold 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (excluding higher education institutions in that nonprofit category). The program structure and eligibility list suggest it is intended for applicants capable of leading or coordinating partnerships, managing grant compliance, and implementing projects with measurable outcomes across multiple states.
