This $499,541 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (AFRI program CFDA 10.310) will support North Dakota State University's research to elucidate the rules governing the assembly and colonization of the root nodule microbiome in legumes. The project aims to unlock the nodule microbiome as a tool for sustainable agriculture by: 1) investigating the drivers of nodule microbiome composition, 2) establishing a culture collection of...
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded a $225,000 Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) project grant to the Division of Agriculture of the University of Arkansas. The grant will fund a 2-year research project to characterize the probiotic capabilities of commensal Corynebacterium bacteria isolated from the bovine respiratory microbiota. The goal is to evaluate the potential of these bacterial isolates to inhibit the growth...
The University of Wisconsin System was awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) with a performance period from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. This grant will fund research to better understand how the rumen microbiome of dairy cows affects methane production, and how dietary changes can influence these emissions. The researchers aim to uncover the trade-offs involved in reducing methane...
The Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded Purdue University $650,000 under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program to conduct research from June 2023 to May 2027 related to beef cattle production efficiency and health.

This $300,000 Project Grant was awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The project aims to gain a high-resolution characterization of the rumen microbiome in dairy cattle under heat-stressed and heat-stress-relieved conditions, and to uncover heat-stress-related neuroactive substances derived from the rumen microbiota and host. The research objectives are to explore the...
This $299,213 federal Project Grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will support research at North Carolina State University (NC State) to investigate how soil microbiomes respond to organic transition practices and quantify their impacts on carbon dynamics and community resilience. The project will utilize amplicon and metagenome sequencing to assess how different organic amendments like...
This federal Project Grant award of $713,709 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports a study at North Dakota State University to validate the role of keystone microbial taxa in enhancing microbiome resilience to environmental stress. The research aims to 1) assess the impact of keystone taxa on microbiome connectivity, 2) employ bacteriophage to eliminate keystone taxa and evaluate the impact of...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $2,500,000 Project Grant award from the USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) program to conduct research on virus transmission during commingling events in cattle. The project aims to understand why some cattle become infected and sick during commingling, while others do not, by tracking the transmission of a cattle coronavirus and analyzing the cattle's immune systems and microbiomes. This research could help control...
This $638,935 Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Project Grant, awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (CFDA #10.310), will fund research to investigate the impact of heavy metal exposure in beef cattle and the potential mitigating role of the cattle gut microbiome. The project aims to identify the lowest dose of heavy metals that affects cattle liver and immune function, as well as determine if heavy metals accumulate in the meat and other retail products. Additionally,...
