National Research Initiative - Animal Protection and Biosecurity (A), (B), (C): Animal Disease, Animal Well-Being, Coordinated Agricultural Project (CAP)
The National Research Initiative (NRI) was not reauthorized in the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-246; i.e., the 2008 Farm Bill). We encourage you to explore funding opportunities under the new Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) competitive grants program at www.csrees.usda.gov/business/reporting/stakeholder/an_stakeholder_afri. Maintaining and improving animal health to meet the food and fiber security needs of this Nation is an increasingly difficult challenge. The program develops and delivers science-based information and technologies to reduce the number and severity of program identified high priority animal disease outbreaks in cattle, swine, poultry, horses, farmed aquaculture species, and small ruminants. The program also supports studies to enhance animal well-being for agricultural species.
