- This $300,000 project grant was awarded 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 objective is to determine the functional role of the progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1) in regulating peri-implantation conceptus survival, development, placental formation, and pregnancy establishment in cattle. The research aims to: (1) evaluate the effects of...
- This $650,000 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) program will support research on the role of interleukin-6 (IL6) family signaling proteins in early embryo and placental development in cattle. The 4-year project, running from Feb 1, 2026 to Jan 31, 2030, aims to: 1) Determine how IL6-family signals help an early embryo form properly, 2) Understand how...
- This $650,000 Project Grant award, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310), aims to develop innovative tools for studying equine rotaviruses and characterizing their genetic variations. The overarching goal is to understand how genetic changes impact the ability of virus-neutralizing antibodies to disarm equine rotavirus infectivity, with the long-term objective of developing next-generation control and...
- This Project Grant award of $650,000.00 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 grant supports research at Texas A&M AgriLife Research aimed at understanding the biological mechanisms underlying embryonic mortality in cattle. The central hypothesis to be investigated is that male and female genetics contribute differently to pregnancy...
- This $300,000 Project Grant awarded 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 identify epigenetic modifications in the cattle placenta that are specifically from the sire or the dam, and determine how they influence gene expression during placental development. The overarching goal is to improve understanding of the complex biology of the placenta and how...
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation. The 2-year grant, starting on February 15, 2026, will support research to determine whether administering corticosteroid injections to horses at the same time as booster vaccinations reduces the vaccines' effectiveness and increases the risk of illness. The...
- The Texas A&M Agrilife Research received a $645,000 project grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) federal grant program (CFDA #10.310). The grant will fund research from May 1, 2023 through April 30, 2026 to identify genetic variants associated with disorders of sex development in horses. Texas A&M Agrilife Research will conduct whole genome analysis and hormonal...
- This $650,000 project grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) will fund research into mitigating early embryonic loss in beef cattle. Texas A&M Agrilife Research will study the physiological and molecular effects of supplementing beef cows with omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids during early embryonic development. The research aims to clarify the mechanisms...
- This $225,000 federal 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 10.310 program supports research to improve in vitro embryo production (IVP) techniques for cattle. The project aims to determine if supplementing or inhibiting the action of "embryokines" - biological factors found in the uterus and embryo that are essential for embryo development and...
- The Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded a $120,000 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University from July 2021 through June 2023.
