This federal Project Grant award, valued at $649,992.00 and provided by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture through the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310), seeks to understand how certain bird flu viruses, particularly H5, H7, and H9 strains, can adapt to infect cattle. The research will investigate how these viruses bind to various cattle tissues, including the lungs, digestive system, and mammary glands, to assess their potential risk to livestock....
This federal Project Grant award of $649,999, issued on April 15, 2025 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), supports research at Kansas State University (KSU) on the pathogenesis and tissue tropism of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza virus in agricultural animals. The 3-year project, set to conclude on April 14, 2028, will leverage KSU's specialized...
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded a $799,462 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to Colorado State University. The goal of this 3-year project, with an end date of March 14, 2028, is to create predictions on how the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreak could continue spreading across the U.S. based on cattle shipment data and disease transmission patterns. The project has three key...
This $648,881 federal Project Grant awarded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) aims to develop mucosal influenza vaccines that can prevent respiratory infections and transmission in dairy cows. The project will leverage an Fc receptor-based (FcRn) vaccine platform to deliver influenza hemagglutinin (HA) and SARS-CoV-2 spike antigens through nasal spray,...
This $649,815 federal Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) will support a 3-year study by the Regents of the University of Minnesota to investigate the transmission, infection, and disease mechanisms of novel highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 viruses in poultry. The study aims to comparatively analyze three HPAI H5N1 virus strains and develop a novel microRNA-based live vaccine to control...
This federal Project Grant award, totaling $999,374.00, was provided by the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The grant supports research to comprehensively evaluate the relationships between on-farm and off-farm risk factors for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) outbreaks in over 9,000 commercial poultry premises across 30 states. The research...
This $650,000 Project Grant was awarded on April 15, 2025 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program. The grant funds research at Cornell University to develop novel vaccine platforms for the prevention and control of influenza A H5N1 in cattle. This supports the AFRI program's goals of advancing agricultural research, improving animal health, and enhancing food production sustainability....
This $800,000 Project Grant awarded by the Institute of Food Production and Sustainability (USDA NIFA Agriculture and Food Research Initiative, CFDA 10.310) to the University of Pittsburgh supports the development of two critical solutions to address the growing threat of Influenza D virus (IDV) in U.S. cattle. First, the project is developing new diagnostic tests to monitor IDV in cattle and other livestock. Second, the researchers are developing an innovative nasal spray vaccine to protect...
This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.310 - Agriculture and Food Research Initiative) provides $649,999.00 to The Ohio State University to evaluate the risk of H5N1 avian influenza virus spillover from cattle to swine. The grant, awarded on April 15, 2025, will fund research to be conducted over a 3-year period ending on April 14, 2028. The project aims to advance scientific understanding of the transmission...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award in the amount of $200,000 supports research to investigate how different stakeholders, from government officials to the general public, use and perceive information about the evolving H5N1 avian influenza outbreaks in U.S. dairy cattle. The project aims to enhance national health interests by providing insights to guide better communication and decision-making for safeguarding...
