- The Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded $650,000 to Texas Tech University on February 15, 2026, under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) to conduct a four-year field study evaluating a selective antibiotic treatment approach for metritis in dairy cattle, running through February 14, 2030. The project will test a data-driven method that uses routinely collected farm information to identify which cows with metritis require antibiotic...
- The Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded the Regents of the University of California at Riverside $120,000 on May 1, 2026, under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) to develop a rapid detection system for antibiotic-resistant bacteria in food products. The project will engineer a silicon-based biosensor with nano-scale features that uses light absorption to identify bacterial resistance mechanisms to common antibiotics such as...
- The Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded $300,000 to Texas A&M Agrilife Research on January 15, 2026, under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) to develop BRDseq, a molecular diagnostic tool for identifying disease-causing bacteria and viruses in bovine respiratory disease samples collected from cattle. BRDseq uses specialized molecular baits to capture and identify genetic sequences from five bacterial species and five viral species...
- The Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded $294,000 to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside on September 1, 2026, under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) to develop a rapid, portable detection platform combining CRISPR technology, microfluidics, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to identify antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) directly in leafy vegetables. The platform is designed to...
- The Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York $294,000 on September 1, 2026, under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (Assistance Listing 10.310) to document the full cycle of on-farm antibiotic residue transport and identify variables influencing antimicrobial resistance generation in environmental soils and water samples. The research will integrate groundwater and soil...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The University of California, Irvine received a $994,586 Project Grant from the Institute of Food Safety and Nutrition under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI, CFDA 10.310) awarded on July 15, 2025, with a completion date of July 14, 2030. The project delivers comprehensive research and analysis services to evaluate the effectiveness of regulations and emerging technologies in reducing antibiotic-resistant bacteria on U.S. dairy farms. Key...
- The Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded $202,755 to The Regents of the University of California (doing business as University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources) on October 1, 2025, under the Animal Health and Disease Research program (CFDA 10.207), a formula grant. UC ANR's Agricultural Experiment Station conducts animal health and disease research aligned with NIFA's guidance to improve the health and productivity of food animals through...
- The Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded Cornell University $180,000 on May 1, 2026, under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI, CFDA 10.310) to investigate how antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes accumulate, persist, and transmit in agricultural soils. The research applies spectroscopic, analytical, and microbiological techniques to determine how soil minerals and organic matter interact with antibiotics, affect their environmental...
- The National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded the University of California, Davis $300,000 on January 1, 2026, under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to investigate nitrogen recycling mechanisms in dairy cattle, with performance through December 31, 2027. The research examines how nitrogen circulates through a dairy cow's digestive system and is captured by rumen microbes to synthesize microbial protein that supports milk production. The project...
- The Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded the University of Florida $999,898 under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) on March 1, 2026, to develop prediction tools that identify dairy cows with metritis likely to recover without antibiotic treatment, reducing unnecessary use of critically important antibiotics in cattle agriculture. Metritis affects approximately one in four dairy cows after calving—roughly 2.3 million cows annually in...
