This Cooperative Agreement, awarded on October 1, 2025, 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 program (CFDA 10.025), provides $943,933 in funding to Texas A&M AgriLife Research to evaluate electron beam (EBEAM) technology as a non-radioactive alternative to Cobalt-60 gamma irradiation for sterilizing New World screwworm (Cochliomyia hominivorax) pupae in Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) programs. The project, which extends through September 30, 2026, will assess the feasibility, efficacy, and operational readiness of this alternative sterilization technology, with performance conducted in College Station, Texas. The deliverables encompass a comprehensive evaluation of EBEAM technology's applicability to screwworm control operations, directly supporting APHIS's mission to protect U.S. agriculture from economically injurious animal pests. By validating an alternative to radioactive sterilization methods, this research addresses both technical and safety considerations critical to the operational implementation of SIT programs used in pest management and eradication efforts.Federal Cooperative Agreement Summary
