This Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, CFDA 10.310, provides $180,000.00 to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to investigate how the diversity of pollinator species in a community affects the spread and impact of a common gut parasite in bumble bees. The goal is to advance understanding of host-parasite interactions and inform management practices to support pollinator...
The Ohio State University will receive $645,576 under a Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program to conduct research on improving ecosystem services and soil health in the corn-soybean agroecosystem dominant in the Midwest region. The University will test the effects of two changes in farm management practices - planting nectar-rich soybean varieties to provide...
The Ohio State University was awarded a $736,956 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) federal grant program (CFDA 10.310). The University will conduct research from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2027 to determine the direct, indirect, and interactive effects of commonly used broad-spectrum insecticides on pollinator foraging behavior, marketable crop yields, and commercial...
The Ohio State University received a $749,991 Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture through the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program. The University will evaluate the impact of sustainable landscaping programs and municipal mosquito control efforts on bee health, mosquito abundance, and West Nile virus prevalence. Specifically, the University will first assess whether increased green space...
This $300,000 project grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program aims to develop bacterial probiotics to improve the health and pollination performance of managed bumble bees (Bombus impatiens) and wild bumble bee species. The key objectives are: 1) Identify gut bacteria that promote resistance to the common bumble bee parasite Crithidia bombi; 2) Discover bacteria that enhance pollination-relevant...
This federal Project Grant award of $649,999 from the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will support research to develop methods for determining the value of pollination services by wild and managed pollinators, as well as efficient levels and locations of wild pollinator habitat preservation and managed pollinator stocking rates. The project, which will be carried out by the University of Maryland, College Park, the...
This five-year, $2.5 million project grant from the US Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) CFDA No. 10.310 program will fund research at Cornell University to understand and control disease spillover in bee communities. The project aims to collect empirical contact data from plant-pollinator networks, quantify disease transmission parameters, and develop dynamic models of disease spread and...
The University of Wisconsin-Madison was awarded a $690,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative Competitive Grants Program. The grant will fund the development of a low-cost, high-throughput behavioral tracking system to quantify the impacts of common insecticides on bumble bee behavior and colony performance. Researchers will characterize the effects of three insecticides on bees...
This $742,173 Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.310, Agriculture and Food Research Initiative) to Colorado State University will support a 4-year research initiative to evaluate interactions between wild bee populations and managed honeybees in peri-urban landscapes of the American West. The research aims to (1) characterize the extent and strength of resource overlap and competition between wild bees and honeybees, (2) determine if honeybees...
This $949,400 project grant from the US Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program (CFDA 10.310) supports the creation of decision support tools to improve bee health and ecosystem services through 2025. The Pennsylvania State University will synthesize complex data from multiple national databases and expert opinions into spatial-temporal data layers, code, and statistical analysis pipelines. These...
