This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (AFRI program, CFDA 10.310) aims to enhance food safety by developing mechano-bactericidal (MB) nanopatterns that can physically rupture bacterial cells on food contact surfaces (FCS). The $299,917 project will: (1) develop methods to create these bacteria-killing surface coatings on stainless steel and gasket polymers, (2) test the antimicrobial efficacy against Listeria and Salmonella,...
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 University of California, Davis will develop food-grade antimicrobial coatings to reduce cross-contamination risks in food processing and service under a $605,000 Project Grant from the US Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture. The grant was awarded on April 1, 2022 through the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program (AFRI, CFDA No. 10.310). Specifically, the university will research and evaluate photoactive antimicrobial...
This $300,000 Project Grant was awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program. The grant aims to develop a portable "NanoPhotonic-CRISPR Chip" (NPC-Chip) device that can quickly and accurately detect antibiotic-resistant bacteria in food, especially milk. The NPC-Chip combines light-based and CRISPR technologies to enable non-expert users to easily identify contamination, addressing the growing...
This $300,000 federal Project Grant award, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, aims to promote increased adoption of antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) practices in the dairy industry. The grant, awarded to Michigan State University from July 2024 to June 2026, will: Determine barriers to changing antimicrobial usage (AMU) by surveying farmers and veterinarians in Michigan and Wisconsin to identify their beliefs,...
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 federal Project Grant award, funded 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), aims to address knowledge gaps in assessing antimicrobial resistant (AMR) foodborne pathogen risks and their impacts on human health. The $225,000 award to Michigan State University will support two key objectives: 1) determining the suitability of a dose-response relationship linking...
This five-year $650,000 Project Grant from the US Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) will fund the development of chitosan microparticles as an alternative treatment for metritis in dairy cows. Metritis is a common post-partum uterine infection in dairy cows, affecting around 20% of herds on average. While antibiotics are commonly used, success rates are less than 75% and...
This $999,618 project grant from the Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) will fund the development of an antimicrobial resistance mitigation system incorporating engineered biochar adsorbents tailored to remove specific contaminants from reclaimed water. The University of California, Riverside will design a large-scale system to efficiently remove antibiotics and antibiotic...
This Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) provides $650,000 to fund research at the University of California, Davis from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2026. The research will evaluate organic fatty acid derivatives and their potential to aid in the prevention and control of post-weaning diarrhea in swine. Specifically, the project will explore...
