The Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service awarded Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University a $500,000 cooperative agreement under the Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care (CFDA 10.025) federal grant program. Through this four-year award effective June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2027, Virginia Tech will enhance terminology support and training for the National Veterinary Services Laboratories and National Animal Health Laboratory Network by developing and maintaining libraries of reference terminologies. This includes additions to existing subsets and new areas as needed to support modernization of emerging disease response and expansion of point-of-entry standardization. Virginia Tech will also create and maintain on-demand training courses on the standards used in veterinary systems, with a focus on National Animal Health Laboratory Network messaging and Veterinary Services program use. There are no subawards associated with this cooperative agreement.
