The Cooperative Extension System

A valuable partner for CTSAs


“Yesterday, I met with officials at NIH. I told them about the relationship the Indiana State Department of Health has with Purdue Extension and they have been discussing the need to get the Extension offices across the nation involved … I told them that I thought Purdue might be interested in being the model for the nation on this one as well.”

Judy Monroe, 2007Indiana Health Commissioner


Cooperative Extension Mission The mission of the Extension Service is to provide

citizens access to research-based education and learning opportunities that are relevant to important community issues and which will contribute to the quality of life for all citizens.

•Disseminate information to the population from the college’s research•Share benefits of current developments

“Land Grant Universities have long embraced a three part mission of Learning, Discovery, andEngagement.”

“Vic” LechtenbergVice Provost for EngagementPurdue University2006


• Prior to 1862, most universities catered to the “elite”

• The Morrill Act of 1862 authorized a public university in every state and territory of the United States. Instead of money, the federal government gave land to be sold and the interest made available for “at least one college”

• Land Grant Mission: “…teach …agriculture and the mechanical arts … to promote liberal and practical education of (ordinary people)….”

The Land Grant University System


• The Hatch Act (1887) provided for the establishment of Agricultural Experiment Stations which provided for research.

• Teaching methodology was “demonstrations”• Second Morrill Act (1890). States had to show

that race or color not a criterion for admission or designate a separate land-grant college. Most in the southern states due to segregation at that time.

• In 1994, Congress created Tribal Colleges to educate Native Americans.


• The Smith Lever Act (1914) established a Cooperative Extension Service with each Land Grant university.

• “instruction and practical demonstration in agriculture and home economics to persons not attending said colleges”

• Federal, state, and county governments work together to provide public education services.

National Programs• Expanded Food and Nutrition

Education Program (EFNEP)– Households with pregnant

women and pre-teen children– Lessons delivered by trained

paraprofessionals– National evaluation– Every $1.00 in EFNEP can

potentially reduce health care costs by about $8.00

• Family Nutrition Program (FNP)– Food stamp eligible– Lessons delivered in homes

and community settings– Meal planning, budgeting,

preparation, food safety– Randomized controlled trial

• Intervention and delayed intervention

– Statistically significant reduction in food insecurity
