Washington State University received a $180,000 project grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Foundational and Applied Science Program (CFDA 10.310), awarded May 1, 2026, with completion targeted for April 30, 2029. This three-year project addresses AFRI's Plant Health and Production priority area by conducting research on sustainable agricultural intensification through investigation of biomass partitioning mechanisms (BPMs) in canola seed development. The research focuses specifically on the critical seed storage phase to identify methods for significantly increasing seed oil yield without expanding arable land requirements, directly supporting global food security objectives as projected population demands approach 9 billion by 2050. The project will advance investigator Dr. Corbridge's research capabilities, mentoring expertise, and leadership skills while enhancing workforce development in the agricultural research field. Through this AFRI-funded research initiative, the university will develop improved transgenic tools and methodologies to optimize canola crop yields, contributing to agricultural science innovations that address resource constraints and support the nation's food production capacity. Research activities will be conducted at the university's Pullman, Washington campus and affiliated facilities.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
