The grant aims to establish a partnership to conduct SARS-CoV-2 surveillance and evolutionary characterization in captive and wildlife animals. Sub-awards were provided to the Chicago Zoological Society's Brookfield Zoo and Oklahoma State University to support product...
- This three-year, $799,999 project grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) will fund research at Texas A&M Agrilife Research on SARS-CoV-2 infections in the captive cervid industry. The project aims to quantify the frequency and transmission of SARS-CoV-2 infections among captive deer and between deer, livestock, wildlife and farm workers on Texas deer...
- This $650,000 Project Grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) CFDA 10.310 program supports research at Cornell University to elucidate the mechanisms and host cell functions exploited by Senecavirus A (SVA) during persistence. SVA is an emerging viral disease in swine that causes clinically indistinguishable outbreaks from high-consequence foreign animal diseases like foot-and-mouth disease. The study aims to...
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded a $650,000 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to Cornell University to develop novel vaccine platforms for the prevention and control of influenza A H5N1 in cattle. The project will be conducted in Ithaca, NY over a 3-year period from April 15, 2025 to April 14, 2028. The AFRI program supports agricultural research, education, and extension activities to...
- This $800,000 Project Grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) will support Cornell University's development of novel vaccine delivery platforms and serological assays to address the critical challenge of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in poultry.
