Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA AMS TM DBII G 22 0008
USDA-AMS-TM-DBII-G-22-0008 is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), focused on supporting existing Dairy Business Innovation (DBI) initiatives. The core purpose of the program is to help these current regional initiatives manage and coordinate efforts that strengthen dairy businesses across the dairy value chain, including the development, production, marketing, and distribution of dairy products. In practice, the funding is meant to sustain and expand organized, region-level support systems that help dairy farmers and related businesses adapt to changing markets, build new revenue streams, and move into higher-value products.
The opportunity emphasizes three major outcomes. First, it aims to diversify dairy product markets in ways that reduce financial risk and create higher-value uses for milk and dairy ingredients. This can include helping businesses explore new product categories, new customer segments, and new routes to market so that they are less dependent on a narrow set of buyers or commodity pricing. Second, it prioritizes business development approaches that diversify farmer income through processing and marketing innovation. That generally points to activities that help farms and dairy enterprises capture more value through new processing capacity, product differentiation, branding, packaging, pricing strategies, and improved go-to-market execution. Third, the program encourages the use of regional milk production, reinforcing the idea that local and regional dairy supply can be matched with local and regional processing and market opportunities, supporting resilient regional food systems and keeping more economic activity closer to where the milk is produced.
This Request for Applications (RFA) is specifically designed to award funding to current DBI initiatives for the period spanning fiscal years 2022 through 2025, rather than launching an entirely new set of initiatives. In other words, the competition is oriented toward continuing and supporting initiatives that already exist under the DBI framework, helping them maintain momentum and deliver ongoing regional support to dairy businesses. The notice references Section 2.4 of the RFA for more detailed information about this multi-year focus and program expectations.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity falls under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 10.176, is categorized under Agriculture, and uses the grant funding instrument. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," with clarification expected in the full notice under the additional eligibility information field, which typically means eligibility is restricted or defined in more specific terms than standard categories like state governments or nonprofits. The funding parameters indicate an award ceiling of $7,053,333 and an expectation of four total awards, suggesting relatively large, regionally significant grants intended to support broad initiative-level activities rather than small, individual business awards. The opportunity was created on June 20, 2022, and originally closed on September 6, 2022, which indicates this was a time-bound competitive cycle for FY 2022-2025 support.Apply for USDA AMS TM DBII G 22 0008
