The Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) received a $1.3 million cooperative agreement award from the United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service under the Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care federal grant program (CFDA 10.025).

The award will fund TGen to address gaps in SARS-CoV-2 surveillance and investigation activities in animals, including farmed animals, captive wildlife, free-ranging wildlife, and companion animals. Specifically, TGen will enhance SARS-CoV-2 surveillance in dogs to characterize risk factors and understand potential implications of viral spread at human-dog and dog-animal interfaces. TGen will also investigate the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on the performance and scent detection capabilities of working dogs to inform veterinary practices. Subawards were provided to Texas A&M University to assist with working dog enrollment and data collection/analysis, and to Midwestern University College of Veterinary Medicine to assist with several dog population enrollments and sample collection. The two-year project will conclude in May 2025 with the generation of targeted recommendations to public health, veterinary, and animal handling audiences.
