The National Land-Grant Impacts Database (NIDB) is the nation’s most extensive repository of the land-grant system’s collective impacts statements in research, education, and Extension. It serves as a comprehensive and important resource for the land-grant system to tell their stories. Each year, a team of professional land-grant university communicators selects high-impact statements to highlight. Check out the 2024 featured impacts below, or visit the database to see all impact statements from 2019-2024.
