This $295,446 federal Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture's (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports a research project titled "Susceptibility of Bovine Mammary Gland Epithelial Cells to H5N1 Clade 2.3.4.4b Influenza Across the Reproductive Life Cycle." The award, made to Case Western Reserve University's Office of Research Administration Division (doing business as University Hospitals of Cleveland), will fund fundamental and applied research to investigate the susceptibility of bovine mammary gland cells to the H5N1 influenza virus subtype across different stages of the reproductive cycle. The project aims to advance scientific knowledge that could inform strategies for safeguarding dairy production and improving animal health in the agriculture sector.
