Colorado State University's Sponsored Programs Division received a $180,000 Project Grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310), awarded May 1, 2026, with a completion date of April 30, 2029. The grant supports research examining the immunological mechanisms by which stressful events such as transport and commingling predispose cattle to bovine respiratory disease (BRD). The project will investigate how acute and chronic stressors stimulate primed hyperinflammatory innate immune responses in cattle, with findings intended to advance understanding of disease pathogenesis and inform development of therapeutic interventions. The award aligns with AFRI's Animal Health and Production and Animal Products priority area and supports the Education and Workforce Development goal through training of a predoctoral fellow to develop a career as a clinician-scientist in agriculture. Research will be conducted at Colorado State University's Fort Collins, Colorado campus. The project represents a competitive award under AFRI's peer-reviewed merit-based selection process, contributing to the nation's leading competitive grants program for agricultural sciences designed to improve food production, animal health outcomes, and develop the next generation of the agricultural workforce.Federal Grant Award Summary
