Strengthening the ability of the land grant university system to execute its rural development mission

Who We Are

The NCRCRD has a small core staff located at Michigan State University. The NCRCRD receives guidance in its rural development efforts from a number of high-level sources.  Brief descriptions of the Center’s core advisory groups can be found at left.  A short history of the NCRCRD at the time of its 1997 25th anniversary at Iowa State is available.
