- This Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) (CFDA 10.310) supports research to study the effects of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) on the thymus and T-cell receptors in cattle. The $300,000 award to Oklahoma State University aims to better understand how BVDV damages the thymus, a key organ for T-cell development, and impacts T-cell receptor diversity, which is crucial for an effective...
- This federal Project Grant award of $779,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports research to improve the understanding and management of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in cattle. The key objectives are to study how the bacterium Mycoplasma bovis contributes to BRD, particularly in the early stages of the disease, and how it interacts with other pathogens. This...
- Long Island University received a three-year, $627,000 Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program. The grant will fund research to develop an improved vaccine for bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in cattle. BRD costs the U.S. beef industry over $3 billion annually. Current commercial vaccines have limited effectiveness. The university will generate...
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded a $800,000 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to the University of Pittsburgh. The funding will support the development of new diagnostic tests to monitor Influenza D virus (IDV) in cattle and other livestock, as well as the creation of an innovative nasal spray vaccine to protect cattle from IDV and prevent the disease from spreading. This research aims...
- This project grant, awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310), aims to investigate how certain strains of the avian influenza (bird flu) virus, particularly H5, H7, and H9, can adapt to infect cattle. The $649,992 grant, awarded on March 15, 2025, will fund research to understand the molecular mechanisms by which these viruses bind to and infect various cattle...
- This $300,000 project grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture will fund research at Prairie View A&M University to study the relationship between bacterial infection, inflammatory response, and proteolysis of casein in milk. Specifically, the university researchers will measure immune cell profiles and expression of inflammatory cytokines in milk leukocytes using flow cytometry and ELISA techniques. They will also conduct an...
- 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 $211,163 to Texas Tech University System to investigate the role of macrophages and endothelial cells in fat tissue of dairy cattle during the transition from pregnancy to lactation. The researchers will collect fat tissue samples from dairy cows before and after calving, as well as cows experiencing metabolic stress, to...
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) awarded a $650,000 project grant to Oklahoma State University (OSU) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The grant aims to identify cellular and viral genes that induce reactivation of Bovine Herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) from latency in cattle. Understanding the mechanisms of BoHV-1 reactivation will allow the development of improved vaccine strategies to reduce the spread of the virus and incidence of Bovine...
- The Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded Kansas State University $650,000 under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program to develop improved vaccines for bovine respiratory disease complex. With funding through May 2026, the university aims to generate new knowledge needed to design vaccines capable of protecting calves against multiple strains of Bovine parainfluenza virus 3 and Bovine viral diarrhea virus. Researchers...
- This $650,000 Project Grant from the Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) will fund research at the University of Florida to reduce the burden of infectious disease in livestock through nutritional programming of the immune system. The central hypothesis is that maternal and neonatal vitamin D supplementation can program the immune system for improved lifetime health and productivity in calves. The...
