The Prioritization Process 2010
Alignment with the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) priorities.
Availability of support and technical assistance for quality implementation of curriculum.
When establishing national priorities for curriculum development, the following things are considered:
- Emerging and current societal issues
- Current or projected youth participation
- Gaps that exist in non-formal youth programming
- Expressed interest by youth and families
- Capacity of the system to respond and/or deliver
- Contributions to future workforces
- Priorities of current or potential funding partners
Mission Mandate teams and National Program Leaders at USDA are tasked with identifying and establishing priorities within the mission mandate areas: Science Engineering and Technology (SET), Healthy Living, and Citizenship. These priorities are communicated to NIFA, 4-H National Headquarters, and National 4-H Council. Typically, a National Request for Applications is announced, in direct response to the need for curricula addressing a particular content area.
