Project Grant 20226701936697
- The National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) within the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) awarded a $799,996 Project Grant to The Ohio State University under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) competitive grants program (CFDA #10.310). The three-year project aims to develop a decision support framework to aid stakeholders in choosing appropriate animal waste management practices. Researchers will compare untreated animal waste to waste treated with...
- This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program provides $649,894 to The Ohio State University to develop a novel dynamic optimization model of the global forest and agricultural sectors. The project aims to better understand how climate change impacts the future provision of large-scale land-based carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere. The...
- This $110,000 cooperative agreement from the United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service will fund Phase 2 of the project "Contribution of Legacy Phosphorus to Watershed Outcomes, SWAT Modeling" at The Ohio State University from December 2021 through November 2025. Under the agreement, The Ohio State University will utilize the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) to model how legacy phosphorus in agricultural soils contributes to water quality outcomes...
- This four-year, $649,915 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) will fund research at Clemson University to develop strategies for improving phosphorus use efficiency in crop production while limiting the uptake of toxic trace elements from phosphate rock. Through laboratory, greenhouse, and field experiments coupled with geochemical modeling, the research...
- This $749,846 Project Grant was awarded on August 1, 2023 by the Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The goal of this project is to quantify the effects of carbon allocation to different plant tissues, symbionts and exudates on its turnaround and resilience in the ecosystem. The key products and services to be delivered include: (1) validating estimates of carbon...
- This $179,640 Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) project grant, awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture, aims to improve understanding of nitrogen pollution in agricultural watersheds and develop better methods for managing and reducing this pollution. The project uses a combination of field experiments, sensor technology, and computer-based mapping tools to study the causes of post-storm nitrate enrichment - elevated nitrate levels in streams after storms....
- The Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded a $749,855 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to the University of Delaware on August 1, 2022 for completion by July 31, 2026. The grant will fund research to quantify current spatial patterns of streamflow depletion and nitrogen pollution from croplands across the Mississippi River Basin and identify configurations of targeted land conservation payments that can...
- The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. (UGA Research Foundation) was awarded a $179,304 Project Grant under the USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to conduct research on the agroecological consequences of surplus phosphorus in agricultural systems. The project has two primary objectives: 1) conducting manipulative field experiments on collaborating farms to measure the effects of high versus low phosphorus levels on predation of insect herbivores, and...
- The Pennsylvania State University will receive $750,000 from the Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program to conduct research and develop tools to reduce nutrient, sediment, and chemical fluxes through riparian buffers impaired by concentrated flow pathways. Over a three-year period ending in July 2026, Penn State researchers will evaluate contaminant transport through concentrated flow...
- This federal Project Grant award of $649,962, funded by the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, aims to understand the importance of jointly determined environmental and farm production risk in the design of agricultural policies. The research will focus on water quality management, especially in the context of climate change, using compensation programs such as government...
The National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded a $749,997 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to The Ohio State University on February 1, 2022 for research to be completed by January 31, 2026. The award will support research to characterize phosphorus transport processes through agricultural soils and improve representation of these processes in watershed-scale hydrologic models. Specifically, the university will conduct laboratory studies to better understand phosphorus desorption, sorption, and transport dynamics. It will use the findings to enhance the theoretical framework and mathematical representations of phosphorus movement in the Soil and Water Assessment Tool hydrologic model. The improved model will be evaluated against field data. Arizona State University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison will receive subawards totaling $249,997 to support modeling objectives and edge-of-field data collection respectively. The Agricultural Research Service will also provide field data for model calibration and validation. The research is expected to provide more accurate phosphorus load estimations and facilitate improved nutrient management strategies.
