§3200 Matching Funds

Title 7 › CHAPTER 64 — AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH, EXTENSION, AND TEACHING › SUBCHAPTER V — ANIMAL HEALTH AND DISEASE RESEARCH › § 3200

Last updated Aug 21, 2026|Official source

Summary

Federal matching payments to a State for animal health and disease research cannot be more than the non‑Federal money that eligible institutions in that State actually make available and budget for in the same fiscal year. This rule does not include funds set aside for special national or regional disease research. Normally a State will not receive more than $100,000, but the Secretary can approve larger payments if an eligible institution’s official certifies it has matching funds. If an institution fails to provide the certified match, the Secretary will reassign the shortfall to other qualifying institutions in that State, or to other States if none qualify.

No funds in excess of $100,000, exclusive of the funds provided for research on specific national or regional animal health and disease problems under the provisions of section 3196 of this title, shall be paid by the Federal Government to any State under subsection (c) of section 3195 of this title to carry out subsection (a) of such section during any fiscal year in excess of the amount from non-Federal sources made available to and budgeted for expenditure by eligible institutions in the State during the same fiscal year for animal health and disease research. The Secretary is authorized to make such payments in excess of $100,000 on the certificate of the appropriate official of the eligible institution having charge of the animal health and disease research for which such payments are to be made. If any eligible institution certified for receipt of matching funds fails to make available and budget for expenditure for animal health and disease research in any fiscal year sums at least equal to the amount for which it is certified, the difference between the Federal matching funds available and the funds made available to and budgeted for expenditure by the eligible institution shall be reapportioned by the Secretary among other eligible institutions of the same State, if there are any which qualify therefor, and, if there are none, the Secretary shall reapportion such difference among the other States.
