The Equipment Grants Program (EGP) increases access to shared special‑purpose equipment for scientific research in the food and agricultural sciences.

EGP supports the purchase of equipment for fundamental or applied research and either enhances existing capacity (through updates or expansions) or adds new capacity (through acquisition of new equipment) at research institutions.

The program aims to improve the quality and broaden the scope of research in food and agricultural sciences, including data science and data systems, by enabling institutions to acquire instrumentation that strengthens research capacity and advances their scientific contributions.
