About this opportunity
The National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative seeks standard research projects up to $1,200,000 and conference grants up to $50,000 from state institutions, universities, research organizations, and consortia to advance collaborative science integrating crops and animal research under Assistance Listing 10.332. Successful proposals will develop predictive models connecting genetics, environments, and management practices to optimize agricultural production, prioritizing common data standards, predictive analytics, diverse germplasm analysis, and workforce development. The deadline for applications is May 30, 2024, with anticipated research project periods of 36-60 months and conference project periods up to 12 months.
Research awards may provide up to $1,200,000 and conference grants up to $50,000 to support work developing predictive agricultural models. Recipients are expected to perform work at their own facilities and in collaboration with other agricultural researchers and industry partners nationwide.
Synopsis
The National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI) focuses on collaborative science engagement that intends to develop a community of researchers across both crops and animals that will lay the foundation for expanding knowledge concerning genomes and phenomes of importance to the agriculture sector of the United States. Success of the initiative will inform approaches to understanding how variable weather, environments, and production systems interact with genetic diversity present in crops and animals to impact growth and productivity. This will provide greater accuracy in predicting crop and animal performance under variable conditions and more efficient selection of well-adapted, superior genotypes that farmers and ranchers can produce.
