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...
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) awarded a $435,178 project grant to Utah State University to explore and exploit a reservoir of multi-sensor data collected from field experiments with managed honey bee colonies. The project will curate this dataset, which includes thousands of frame photographs and millions of sensor measurements, and make it publicly available to the U.S. precision apiculture community. The university will use...
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...
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 $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 of $750,000.00 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the 1890 Institution Capacity Building Grants Program (CFDA 10.216) supports research at Central State University, an 1890 land-grant institution, to study the impacts of transportation on the health and behavior of honeybees, a critical managed pollinator for U.S. agriculture. The key objectives of the 3-year project are to: 1) Detect viral prevalence and distribution in transported honeybee...
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 $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....
The National Science Foundation Office of Emerging Frontiers and Multidisciplinary Activities awarded $149,947 to George Mason University under Project Grant FW-HTF-P to support data science research and tools to benefit beekeepers from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022. The award is being used to develop data science solutions under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to save bee populations and transform the future work of beekeepers through monitoring and...
This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $749,086, was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) to Villanova University. The project aims to address two of the USDA's Pollinator Health priorities - understanding factors that influence pollinator abundance and diversity, and developing innovative tools and management practices to support healthy pollinators. Specifically, the project will use unmanned aerial vehicles...
