(A) The Hatch Act of 1887 (Regular Research)
The Hatch Act of 1887 provides the basis for Federal funding for agricultural research activities at the State Agricultural Experiment Stations in the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the Insular Areas.
State Agricultural Experiment Stations are eligible for funds appropriated under this Act according to the following formula: The previous year’s base plus the current year increase as follows:
Three percent (3%) for Federal Administration,
Twenty percent (20%) equally,
Twenty-six percent (26%) in an amount which bears the same ratio to the total amount to be allotted as the rural population of the State bears to the total rural population of all the States as determined by the last preceding decennial census;
Twenty-six percent (26%) t in an amount which bears the same ratio to the total amount to be allotted as the farm population of the State bears to the total farm population of all the States as determined by the last preceding decennial census. Twenty-five percent (25%) for the Hatch Multistate Research Fund.
(B) The Hatch Act of 1887 (Multistate Research)
Not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total Hatch Act of 1887 funding is allotted to the States for cooperative research employing multidisciplinary approaches in which a State agricultural experiment station, working with another State agricultural experiment station, the Agricultural Research Service, or a college or university, cooperates to solve problems that concern more than one (1) State. These funds are designated as the ‘‘Multistate Research Fund, State Agricultural Experiment Stations.” Funds are allocated on a prorata basis and allocations are adjusted to support national and regional projects. These projects and their associated budgets are reviewed and approved annually.
The 25 percent applies to any amounts appropriated above the level of funding in 1955 (the base year).
