- This USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Project Grant, valued at $299,999.00, was awarded to the University of Southern Mississippi to conduct research on honey bee immunity and the impacts of microsporidian parasites. The key objectives are to: 1) generate single-cell RNA sequencing of uninfected and parasite-infected honey bee immune cells (hemocytes) to advance understanding of host-parasite interactions, and 2) investigate...
- The National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded North Carolina State University $499,620 under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) federal grant program (CFDA 10.310) to support the "BEEMORE: BEES AND MICROBES IN ORGANIZED RESEARCH AND EXTENSION" project from April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2026. The project aims to increase the number of educated individuals prepared to address global agricultural and scientific needs through integrating science...
- This Project Grant award of $300,000 was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program. The goal is to help beekeepers in the southern Appalachian region grow their honey bee colonies back to pre-Hurricane Helene levels through training on queen rearing and best management practices. The project will also sample colonies in affected and unaffected areas to assess any...
- This $750,000 Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310), will fund research to develop a new approach for protecting honey bees against viruses that threaten colony health and pollination services. The project combines expertise in engineered gut symbionts, peptide secretion systems, and honey bee physiology to continuously deliver antiviral peptides within the bee digestive tract....
- 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...
- 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...
- This $241,419 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the protective symbiosis mechanism of honey bees at the University of Michigan from October 2022 to October 2023. The goal is to characterize how a bacterial symbiont protects honey bee brood from fungal pathogens by investigating its antifungal properties. Researchers will use microbiology, genetics, genomics, chemistry and bee rearing to determine how the trait evolved and identify the antifungal metabolite...
- 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 $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...
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded a $749,720 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) (CFDA 10.310) to Mississippi State University (MSU). The grant aims to understand how honey bees interact with viruses at the individual and cellular levels, with the goal of identifying genetic markers that indicate resistance to viral infections. The project will initially focus on studying the performance of...
