About this opportunity
The USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is soliciting cooperative agreement applications for up to $40 million under the National Animal Disease Preparedness and Response Program (NADPRP) FY 2027 State Preparedness opportunity, with applications due January 7, 2027 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time through ezFedGrants. Eligibility is restricted to State Departments of Agriculture, State Offices of the chief animal health official, and regional animal disease response organizations (MSPSA, NESAASA, SAADRA, and WASAR). Cost share is not required, but the work plan template states that any cost share included becomes legally binding. Indirect costs are capped at 10% of total project costs or the applicant's negotiated indirect cost rate agreement, whichever is less.
APHIS anticipates approximately 40 awards ranging from $500,000 to $2 million each. Work is anticipated to start between July 1, 2027 and August 31, 2027 and must be completed within 36 months. Applicants may submit up to three applications but are encouraged to submit one comprehensive proposal. Each submission requires a mandatory Work Plan template (not to exceed 20 pages), a Financial Plan, SF-424 and SF-424A forms, and PDF attachments totaling no more than 20 MB.
Priority areas are training and exercises, FAD response stockpiles, FAD response plans, biosecurity, animal disease traceability, and FAD data and information sharing. Projects target high-consequence diseases such as New World screwworm, highly pathogenic avian influenza, African swine fever, and foot-and-mouth disease.
Merit review weights alignment and purpose at 35%, project design and feasibility at 25%, budget and resource justification at 20%, and expected impact at 20%, followed by administrative review that includes risk assessment. Award notification is anticipated within 150 days of the application deadline. Recipients submit semiannual performance and financial reports due 30 days after each reporting period and a final report within 120 days after project completion.
The opportunity is assigned to CFDA 10.025, Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care.

Through NADPRP, APHIS partners with eligible entities to provide financial support for high-value projects to prevent or mitigate the introduction and spread of foreign and emerging animal diseases that pose significant risks to U.S. agriculture.

APHIS makes funding available to support projects in animal disease and pest preparedness and response priority topic areas that are identified through consultation with eligible entities and stakeholders. Additional details about the program are available on the USDA APHIS NADPRP website.
