The Department of Agriculture (USDA) awarded a $291,941 Project Grant to Duke University under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) to establish the kinetics of environmentally mediated avian influenza virus decay. The award period is from April 15, 2025 to April 14, 2027. Through this grant, Duke University will conduct research to better understand how environmental factors impact the persistence and decay of avian influenza viruses. The findings from this project are intended to contribute to the development of improved strategies for mitigating the spread of avian influenza and protecting animal and human health. Duke University has a strong track record of delivering high-impact research and services across a wide range of federal grant and contract programs related to agriculture, public health, and national security.
