Project Grant 2433191
- This federal Project Grant award of $649,997.00, provided by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) CFDA 10.310 program, supports research to understand why and how the H5N1 avian influenza virus behaves differently in dairy cattle compared to other animals. The research aims to develop better strategies to detect, contain, and mitigate the spread of this virus in the dairy industry and protect the milk supply, food safety,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $496,076 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to investigate the geographic spread and genetic evolution of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1) virus. The project aims to elucidate the key human-environment ecosystem factors that drive the transmission and mutation of this virus, which has a 50% mortality rate in humans. Utilizing...
- This $2,340,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a collaborative research project between the United States, United Kingdom, and China to understand the impact of poultry vaccination on the evolution and ecosystem dynamics of H5Nx avian influenza viruses. The key objectives are to: (1) measure the antigenic diversity of recent H5 influenza viruses, (2) identify H5 viruses evolved from vaccine protection, and (3)...
- This $649,999 federal Project Grant award was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) through the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program. The purpose is to evaluate the risk of H5N1 influenza virus spillover from cattle to swine. The primary awardee, The Ohio State University, will lead animal studies to assess virus transmission and viral replication in cattle and swine, including intranasal and intramammary inoculation...
- This 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 investigate how certain strains of the avian influenza (bird flu) virus, particularly H5, H7, and H9, can adapt to infect cattle. The $649,992 grant, awarded on March 15, 2025, will fund research to understand the molecular mechanisms by which these viruses bind to and infect various cattle...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $199,999 provides funding for a research project titled "RAPID: Measuring Host Competence Across Wild Bird Species During Outbreaks of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza." The project will be carried out under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The award supports research at the University of Massachusetts Boston to characterize the range of host competence of wild birds for highly pathogenic avian...
- This $799,462 project grant was awarded on March 15, 2025 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 goal is to create predictive models for how the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreak in U.S. dairy cattle could continue spreading across the country based on cattle shipment data and disease transmission factors. The key objectives are to: 1) collect...
- This $667,763 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to San Diego State University (SDSU) Research Foundation on August 15, 2023. The grant will fund a highly integrated, interdisciplinary research collaboration between analytical chemists, virologists, and veterinary pathologists to study the spatial metabolic changes associated with avian influenza virus infection in...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to the Regents of the University of Michigan for the project "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: EMB: NEXT-GENERATION PHYLODYNAMICS: THEORY, ALGORITHMS, APPLICATIONS". The goal of this 3-year project is to develop new mathematical and computational tools to improve the ability to extract information about the spread of viruses, such as avian...
- This $649,815 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 to better understand the transmission, infection, and disease mechanisms of novel H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses that have devastated the poultry industry since 2021. The award to the Regents of the University of Minnesota will enable comparative studies of three...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award in the amount of $200,000 supports research to investigate how different stakeholders, from government officials to the general public, use and perceive information about the evolving H5N1 avian influenza outbreaks in U.S. dairy cattle. The project aims to enhance national health interests by providing insights to guide better communication and decision-making for safeguarding public and animal health. The research will integrate interviews with federal and state human and animal health officials, panel surveys of accredited veterinarians, and surveys of the general public to systematically assess how well-aligned risk perceptions and decisions are across these stakeholder groups as the H5N1 crisis evolves. The award covers the period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025 and will be implemented by Montana State University.
