The University of California, Riverside received a $930,000 Project Grant from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (CFDA 10.332) to conduct research on heat resilience in honey bee populations. The key objectives of this 3-year project are to: 1) identify commercially viable honey bee stocks that are resilient to heat, 2) determine the physiological mechanisms governing sex- and stock-specific heat resilience, and 3) develop genetic...
This Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture provides $748,706 to the University of Nevada, Reno under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program. The university will deliver research, outreach, and education services to address the impacts of climate change on pollinator nutrition and food system resilience through 2027. Specifically, the university will combine a new analytical method for...
This Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) CFDA 10.310, supports a research project to investigate the effects of climate warming on a suite of crop-associated arthropod species. The $120,000 award, with a performance period from August 2024 to August 2026, will enable the University of California, Davis to leverage a novel ecoinformatics approach...
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...
The Regents of the University of California, Riverside (UC Riverside) received a four-year, $748,797 project grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program (AFRI; CFDA No. 10.310). The grant funds research at UC Riverside and the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) on worker body size variation in bumble bee colonies and its impacts on...
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 U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded a $173,538 project grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to Rutgers, The State University to evaluate the impact of adjacent forest age on wild bee communities and apple crop yields in the northeastern U.S. The project aims to provide evidence-based guidelines for managing forests to support crop pollination and production. The research will collect data on wild...
This federal Project Grant award of $700,000.00 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Program (CFDA 10.310) to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside aims to develop and test an electronic sensor framework called "eBeeVet" for monitoring honeybee hives. The project seeks to address the drastic declines in honeybee populations that have occurred over the past two decades, as honeybees provide crucial ecosystem...
This $749,651 federal Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports research to understand how honey bee-associated microbes affect the health, fecundity, and longevity of honey bee queens and overall colony health. The prime awardee, Trustees of Indiana University, will collaborate with researchers at North Carolina State University and Wellesley College as sub-awardees to conduct field...
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...
