The Current Research Information System (CRIS) provides data and reports on NIFA’s research, education and extension activities. By using the search interface on the CRIS website, users can obtain reports that describe NIFA-funded project objectives, methods, and outcomes.

Please feel free to visit and explore the resources and tools available on NIFA's Data Gateway webpage. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to electronic@usda.gov.
