Description - The Office of Advocacy and Outreach (OAO) requests
applications for the Outreach and Assistance for Socially Disadvantaged
Farmers and Ranchers Competitive Grants Program (OASDFR). This
announcement seeks applications from partnerships of eligible
organizations able to provide outreach and technical assistance services
within a defined geographic area in a linguistically and culturally
appropriate manner. The intent of this portion of the OASDFR program is
to focus specifically on connecting socially disadvantaged producers to
USDA agricultural programs delivered at the USDA Service Centerlevel,
starting with outreach to identify the barriers to equitable
participation. A first round of funding for FY 2010 OASDRF projects has
been recently announced. OAO anticipates that approximately $4.7 million
will be available through this RFA.
