- This federal Project Grant award, provided by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310), funds the development of a novel double-stage filter system to rapidly detect the presence of Salmonella bacteria in food products. The $299,999 award to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) aims to engineer an anti-fouling stirred cell device that can filter and collect...
- This $150,000 Project Grant awarded by the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) under the Capacity Building Grants for Non-Land Grant Colleges of Agriculture (CFDA 10.326) program aims to develop a novel digital PCR assay for detecting and quantifying Salmonella contamination in beef samples. The key products to be delivered through this 2-year project include: A new diagnostic assay capable of detecting Salmonella and quantifying its...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.084 - NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships) provides $550,000 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. to develop a prototype for rapid diagnosis of foodborne pathogens. The goal is to create a new one-test screening method that can identify bacterial contaminants in food in less than an hour, compared to current multi-step tests that take hours or days. This rapid diagnostic technology is aimed at...
- 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 develop and implement effective mitigation strategies at the production level to limit Salmonella colonization in chickens and reduce the transmission of Salmonella to poultry products and humans. The grant will fund research to evaluate the efficacy of combining...
- This $650,000 Project Grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) CFDA 10.310 program aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a genetically engineered Bacillus subtilis probiotic strain in reducing Salmonella colonization in broiler chickens. The primary awardee, the Regents of the University of Michigan, will develop a B. subtilis strain that secretes Salmonella-neutralizing nanobodies to directly...
- This $623,828 Project Grant from the US Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will fund research to develop and test a risk-based strategy for reducing Salmonella contamination in broiler chickens. The University of Georgia Research Foundation will screen broiler flocks before slaughter to assess Salmonella levels and identify specific serotypes most concerning for human health. Flocks will be...
- Nanospy Inc. received a $256,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Industrial Innovation on August 15, 2021 to develop handheld graphene-based sensors for rapid detection of Salmonella species in food processing facilities. The award is part of the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) administered by NSF, which seeks to improve quality of life and economic strength through engineering research and innovation. Under the grant, Nanospy will design portable sensors...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $750,000 Project Grant to the University of Missouri System under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships federal grant program (CFDA 47.084) to develop rapid detection technologies and decision support systems to mitigate food supply chain threats from Salmonella contamination. The one-year project will investigate multiple transformative sensing technologies, including surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy sensors, impedance-based biosensors, and nanopore-facilitated multi-locus checkpoint sequencing, to detect and differentiate Salmonella serovars along the poultry supply chain. Samples will be collected from chicken houses and carcasses by Dr. Morey of Auburn University under a $75,000 federal subaward and analyzed using the developed biosensors as well as traditional methods. The project aims to integrate sample results into a centralized data environment to develop risk assessment and mitigation capabilities through effective and timely data-driven decision support tools.
