Colorado State University received a $2.19 million project grant from the Institute of Food Production and Sustainability under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI, CFDA 10.310) awarded February 1, 2026, with completion scheduled for January 31, 2030. The award funds development of a comprehensive analytical toolset to model and predict the spread of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) across livestock, wildlife, and human populations at the national scale. The project will deliver integrated software, data, and predictive methodologies through five primary objectives: consolidating HPAI outbreak and livestock shipment data; assessing wildlife-to-livestock disease transmission risk; developing predictive models for HPAI spread in the United States and United Kingdom; forecasting farm-level infection risk and identifying primary transmission sources; and evaluating surveillance and control intervention effectiveness. The deliverables will enable stakeholders to understand HPAI transmission dynamics and implement evidence-based disease control strategies. Colorado State University will execute the research at its Fort Collins, Colorado facility while collaborating with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, state veterinarians, and industry partners to ensure the products directly address livestock industry needs. Upon project completion, the resulting analytical framework and supporting datasets will be available to protect livestock producers and agricultural infrastructure from infectious disease outbreak impacts.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
