Overview
Grant Description
The Building a Boulevard project supported by the NextGen program will provide meaningful mentoring and financial assistance to help build a diverse and highly skilled food, agriculture, natural resource, and human science workforce.
Over the five-year duration of the grant, 418 students (200 master's, 180 undergraduate, and 38 community college) will work on career-advancing projects with faculty mentors, gaining in-depth discipline-specific knowledge, exercising critical thinking skills, and learning about the diversity of FANH careers and the pathways to attain these careers.
The Building a Boulevard project will organize and host a series of workshops where fellows will:
A) Participate in interactive workshops to develop and practice leadership skills;
B) Learn and practice the tenants of effective science communication; and
C) Learn about USDA Pathways Program and USDA careers from USDA employees.
Fellows will be financially supported to present and attend professional and URM conferences.
As a result of participating in the Building a Boulevard project, student participants will have increased discipline-specific knowledge, improved leadership skills, increased awareness of USDA careers, improved research skills (which include critical thinking and problem-solving skills), and increased confidence in their abilities - all skills needed for a thriving FANH workforce.
