Research Roadmap (DRAFT)
The first call for input on the Draft Roadmap closed November 1. 2024.

Grounded in the foundations of national security and an aim
to cultivate the next generation of experts, the agInnovation 2025-2035 Research Roadmap (draft version - click to view) outlines bold and measurable objectives achievable through strategic investment.
To realize our ambitious 10-year goals, federal research funding support for land-grant universities urgently requires an increased annual investment of $1.9 billion — or $19 billion over the next decade — equivalent to just 1% of the fiscal year 2023 total federal research and development budget.
This includes bolstering core capacity and competitive grant programs at the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture, alongside aligned initiatives at the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NASA, U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and other federal funding agencies.
Securing this enhanced support is essential to advancing transformative research and safeguarding our nation’s future prosperity.
