The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service awarded a $290,277 project grant to South Dakota State University on May 1, 2022 with a completion date of April 30, 2025. The grant is being used to fund research under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) to improve Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance in barley. As the stated goal of the CFDA 10.001 program is to support agricultural research that provides scientific and technical information, it can be inferred this grant is funding applied research activities at South Dakota State University aimed at developing barley varieties with enhanced resistance to FHB, a fungal disease that reduces barley yields. The parent organization of the awardee, State of South Dakota-Division of OASI, will also support delivery of research products and services through its sub-awardee, the South Dakota Board of Regents.
