The funding patterns of State Agricultural Experiment Stations (SAES) and 1890/Tuskegee agricultural research programs for human nutrition research for fiscal years (FY) 1970 to 1986 and the departments which received such funding during FY ′86 were evaluated. Land‐grant universities, 1862 and 1890/Tuskegee, receive these funds. Nationally, Cooperative State Research Service‐administered and state‐appropriated SAES funds for human nutrition research increased about two fold from FY ′70 −′86 as adjusted to ′70 levels, while the percentage of budgets expended for this research decreased. The research was performed in a variety of departments. Wide variations in funding were observed for all departmental cat egories. The best SAES funding situations were in Nutritional Sciences, Biochem istry, and Food Science and Human Nutrition, and for Tuskegee/1890 institutions, Home Economics and Research Stations. Departments in Agriculture had better SAES funding situations than those in Home Economics but not at 1890/Tuskegee institutions. Human nutrition has received about 2 percent of land‐grant research funds.
