Welcome to the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Financial Management and Agreements Division (FMAD) agreements home page. The ARS, FMAD, Grants and Agreements Management Branch (GAMB) provides leadership and guidance for the administration of assistance and non-assistance programs related to research, education, statistics, and extension activities supported by ARS, ERS and NASS.

We have designed this site to assist the customer with finding information related to the various types of extramural agreements executed to further the mission of the Department of Agriculture as the lead agency in the Federal Government for food and agriculture sciences.

We encourage you to provide us with feedback and ideas on information that you would like us to include in the future.
