For FY 2011, NIFA is soliciting applications in anticipation of funding five projects: one to establish a national headquarters and four to establish geographically-based regional IR-4 centers (three with analytical chemistry programs and one without an analytical chemistry program). The four USDA administrative regions (North Central, Northeastern, Southern, and Western) are described by state/territory at the end of Part I, B. NIFA anticipates that the amount available for support of this program in FY 2011 will be approximately $11 million.
