The Food Animal Residue Avoidance Databank (FARAD) Program, awarded a $148,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), Cooperative Extension Service (CFDA 10.500) program. The FARAD Program is a collaborative effort between pharmacology specialists at five universities, including Virginia Tech, to provide veterinarians with up-to-date information on withdrawal times for extra-label drug use in food animals. This helps prevent and mitigate violative chemical residues in animal food products, supporting the production of safe foods of animal origin. The award's primary focus at Virginia Tech is to respond to drug residue cases, provide research support to validate withdrawal intervals, train new veterinary clinical pharmacology residents, and strengthen relationships with the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine. The performance period for this award is September 15, 2025 to September 14, 2028.
