- The Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (doing business as SUNY ESF) $299,971 on June 1, 2026, under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI, CFDA 10.310) to quantify antimicrobial resistance (AMR) gene transmission through manure-based fertilizers to vegetables. The project uses lettuce as a model crop to systematically evaluate the risk of AMR determinants—genes, mobile genetic...
- 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...
