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 $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...
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) CFDA program provides $994,586 to study the effectiveness of regulations and new technologies in reducing the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria on dairy farms. The 5-year project will assess the impact of rules limiting antibiotic use, evaluate manure treatment methods for removing resistant bacteria, and model the...
The Federal Project Grant was awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The $591,500 grant will support the development of novel tools and pipelines to analyze and predict the presence and behavior of recurring, emerging, and persistent (REP) foodborne pathogens such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria. The University of Maryland, College Park will leverage genomic, phenotypic, and...
The Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska received a four-year, $999,981 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) federal grant program. The grant will fund research investigating the effects of antibiotic use on the ecology of the microbial community, antimicrobial resistance gene prevalence, enrichment, and transmission in the swine production system....
This $650,000 Project Grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) CFDA 10.310 program aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a genetically engineered Bacillus subtilis probiotic strain in reducing Salmonella colonization in broiler chickens. The primary awardee, the Regents of the University of Michigan, will develop a B. subtilis strain that secretes Salmonella-neutralizing nanobodies to directly...
This USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Project Grant, awarded to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska (University of Nebraska), aims to improve the understanding of the environmental component of the One-Health approach in addressing antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The $900,000 grant, awarded on July 1, 2024, has four primary objectives: 1) Track the transmission of clinically relevant AMR bacteria and genes of...
The National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded a $498,178 Project Grant to Cleveland State University from the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program (CFDA No. 10.310). The grant will fund research from June 2023 through May 2026 to build tools using experimental data and mathematical models to predict the dynamics of Salmonella and Campylobacter pathogen transfer and survival during poultry processing scalding, chilling, and post-chill stages. The research...
This $600,000 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (AFRI program, CFDA 10.310) aims to identify the specific antimicrobial molecules produced by the beneficial bacterium Pseudomonas protegens PBL3 and understand how they inhibit the growth of a pathogenic bacterium that causes a devastating disease in rice crops. The goal is to develop biologically-based solutions to control crop diseases and reduce losses, thereby alleviating...
This $623,828 Project Grant from the US Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will fund research to develop and test a risk-based strategy for reducing Salmonella contamination in broiler chickens. The University of Georgia Research Foundation will screen broiler flocks before slaughter to assess Salmonella levels and identify specific serotypes most concerning for human health. Flocks will be...
