The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) awarded a $150,000 project grant under the Capacity Building Grants for Non-Land Grant Colleges of Agriculture (CFDA 10.326) program. The grant will support Southern Illinois University's efforts to develop an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) system to rapidly and accurately detect the presence of Salmonella bacteria in onion samples. The project aims to create a quicker, more effective method for...
This $749,320 Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the 1890 Institution Capacity Building Grants Program (CFDA 10.216) aims to improve food safety in hydroponically and aquaponically grown produce. The project, led by Florida A&M University (FAMU), will identify potential microbial contamination sources and the survival and persistence of human pathogens in these systems. It will also validate sampling methods and develop AI-enabled...
This Project Grant award of $611,000.00 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) program aims to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based imaging approach for the early detection of spoilage yeasts in fruit and vegetable juices. The goal is to provide the food industry with a rapid and easy-to-use monitoring tool to verify and optimize the efficacy of processing and...
This $1,000,000 project grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) federal grant program (CFDA #10.310) will fund development of an adaptable framework called CAMRADES to connect antimicrobial resistance, agricultural decisions, and environmental systems. Iowa State University will integrate predictive models of antimicrobial transport and associated human health risk into the...
The University of Florida (UF), through its Division of Sponsored Research, was awarded a $420,604.39 Project Grant from the Department of Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) to develop a novel system for fast and reliable detection of spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms in food. The proposed work includes developing a paper chromogenic array enabled by machine learning to detect and quantify the seven most common food pathogens and spoilage microbes across...
This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program provides $591,497 to Missouri State University to develop a smartphone-based lateral flow assay (LFA) technology for the rapid, sensitive, and accurate detection of Salmonella in food samples. The goal is to create a simple, field-based test that can be used across the food supply chain to enhance public health...
This $300,000 Project Grant was awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program. The grant aims to develop a portable "NanoPhotonic-CRISPR Chip" (NPC-Chip) device that can quickly and accurately detect antibiotic-resistant bacteria in food, especially milk. The NPC-Chip combines light-based and CRISPR technologies to enable non-expert users to easily identify contamination, addressing the growing...
This $299,322 Project Grant award to Auburn University was issued by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The objective is to determine the impact of antimicrobial use (AMU) in poultry production on microbial diversity, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes, and horizontal gene transfer in the environment. The research will compare AMR levels and animal health outcomes between antimicrobial-free...
This $150,000 Project Grant awarded by the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) under the Capacity Building Grants for Non-Land Grant Colleges of Agriculture (CFDA 10.326) program aims to develop a novel digital PCR assay for detecting and quantifying Salmonella contamination in beef samples. The key products to be delivered through this 2-year project include: A new diagnostic assay capable of detecting Salmonella and quantifying its...
This Project Grant award, totaling $749,962 and funded by the USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310), aims to train a skilled and motivated group of 60 undergraduate students in emerging agricultural and food production technologies over a 3-year period. The key focus areas include robotics/automation, AI, systems/synthetic biology, bioprocessing, and process simulation. The lead awardee, Kansas State University, will collaborate with several sub-awardees,...
