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 $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 $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 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 $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...
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 Project Grant award of $277,407.00 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports research to develop effective antimicrobial treatments for sterilizing dairy processing equipment. The goal is to enable the use of natural cationic antimicrobials, which are highly effective against biofilms, by designing a smart charge-reversal polymer that can prevent interaction with milk proteins and enhance antimicrobial efficacy. The research...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $249,531, was provided by the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA-NIFA) under the Equipment Grants Program (CFDA 10.519). The objective of this 4-year project is to acquire a specialized laboratory instrument that uses laser and mass spectrometry technology to rapidly and accurately identify bacterial species associated with mastitis and antibiotic resistance in dairy cattle and small ruminants....
This federal Project Grant award of $648,881 was provided 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). The goal of the project is to develop mucosal vaccines delivered through a nanoparticle platform to prevent influenza virus infections in dairy cows and reduce transmission between animals and humans. The research aims to create universal influenza vaccines that can...
The federal Project Grant award of $900,000.00 was provided by the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) program. The grant is funding research at the University of California, Davis to externally validate and optimize a deep artificial neural network (ANN) model that can predict the spontaneous cure of metritis, a common bovine disease, in dairy cows. The research aims to integrate...

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 health risks to farmers and consumers. The research aims to improve antibiotic use practices and reduce the global threat of antibiotic resistance. The award was made on July 15, 2025 to the University of California, Irvine, which will carry out the research.
