The University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research received a $492,357 Cooperative Agreement from 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). Awarded on October 1, 2025, with completion targeted for May 30, 2027, this agreement supports a feasibility study evaluating two commercially available, American-made X-ray irradiators—the RadSource 2400Q and Precision X-RAD320C—for sterilizing New World Screwworm (NWS) pupae. This work advances APHIS's modernization initiative to expand and enhance Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) programs by transitioning from high-activity gamma irradiators such as Cobalt-60, which present significant security, logistical, and operational challenges. The feasibility study will be conducted at the University of Florida's Gainesville, Florida facility and will generate critical technical and operational data to support the adoption of safer, more manageable irradiation alternatives within the federal SIT program framework for NWS pest management.Federal Cooperative Agreement Summary
