The university will use mathematical modeling, field sampling, genomic surveillance, biochemical analysis, and immunological studies to expand knowledge of species susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2....
- The Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service awarded a $2,225,835 Cooperative Agreement to the University of Florida to address gaps in surveillance and investigation activities for SARS-CoV-2 in animals, including farmed animals, captive wildlife, free-ranging wildlife, and companion animals, with a focus on the enrollment of working dogs. This effort under the Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care federal grant program (CFDA 10.025) will involve...
- The University of Wisconsin System, through its University of Wisconsin - Madison division, has been awarded a $100,542 Cooperative Agreement by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) under the Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care Federal Grant Program (CFDA 10.025). The funding will enable the Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (WVDL) to enhance its capacity for routine and National Animal Health Laboratory Network...
- The Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) awarded a $2,156,152 Cooperative Agreement to South Dakota State University to develop surveillance tools and strategies for the rapid detection and characterization of new variants of SARS-CoV-2. The purpose of this award is to support an early warning system that can prevent or limit future SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks. This award is funded under the Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care grant...
- The Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service awarded Iowa State University a $998,881 cooperative agreement under the Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care federal grant program (CFDA 10.025). The university will develop surveillance tools and strategies for the rapid detection and characterization of new SARS-CoV-2 variants to support an early warning system. Specifically, Iowa State University will convert a validated targeted next-generation...
- The University of South Florida received a $2,995,370 five-year Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) to study the future dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 in animal communities. The project aims to advance predictive modeling for future zoonotic variants, identify mammalian host species, and build a framework to understand transmission patterns in wildlife populations. Key efforts include developing AI-driven predictions, empirically...
- The Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) awarded $262,335.27 under the Cooperative Agreement to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture for animal health national surveillance and response activities from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022. The funding supports services delivered under APHIS' Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care program (CFDA 10.025). Specifically, the award facilitates Wisconsin's initiatives for avian, cattle, equine,...
- This $906,036 cooperative agreement from the United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service will fund the development of a multi-species edible vaccine to prevent transmission of SARS-CoV-2 at the human-animal interface and impacts on the food supply. Plantpharm Biomed LTD will develop an edible vaccine that can be supplied to and self-administered by wild animals through practical and inexpensive means, in collaboration with USDA APHIS and state wildlife...
The University of Wisconsin System will use a $1,352,220 cooperative agreement award from the United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service to expand knowledge of species susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 and develop mosaic vaccines that protect against multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants. The award, provided under the Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care federal grant program (CFDA 10.025), will support genetic immunization experiments in ferrets to evaluate vaccine performance against SARS-CoV-2 variants. It will also fund research to better understand the pathogenicity and transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 variants in ferrets. The agreement runs from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2025. Outcomes will help assess susceptibility of mustelids such as ferrets and minks to SARS-CoV-2 variants, as well as virus evolution and transmission potential. Results may inform field application of novel SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in ferrets and minks, a $330 million per year industry in the U.S. No subawards are planned under this cooperative agreement.
