Agriculture and Food Research Initiative - Animal Biosecurity Coordinated Agricultural Projects (CAP)

Animal Biosecurity is not soliciting proposals in Fiscal Year 2009, but the program anticipates soliciting new Coordinated Agricultural Project (CAP) applications in Fiscal Year 2010. No applications will be accepted or reviewed in Fiscal Year 2009. Strengthening the Nation's capacity to protect animal agriculture from disease losses and threats arising from high impact endemic diseases, new or re-emerging challenges, or foreign diseases accidentally or intentionally introduced is a challenge facing the United States. The program develops and delivers science-based information and technologies to reduce the number and severity of outbreaks. Studies of zoonotic diseases, such as Avian Influenza, also benefit public health. Results better integrate, coordinate and complement current /future projects related to that area beyond those objectives supported by an Animal Biosecurity award. The AFRI Animal Biosecurity Program anticipates continuing this successful approach by supporting one new Coordinated Agricultural Project based on solicitation in FY 2010.
