This NIFA grant offers one-time seed funding to initiate urgent work on emerging plant and animal pests and diseases, bridging the gap until long-term resources are secured. NIFA is actively soliciting proposals on an as-needed basis to address specific, critical issues. This particular grant targets research on the Redbay ambrosia beetle in avocados, the Brown marmorated stink bug in various crops, Trochanter mealybug in soybeans, the Uganda (Ug99) Strain of Wheat Stem Rust, and Glyphosate resistant broadleaf weeds. Proposals demonstrating strong collaboration and communication with multi-state research committees will receive priority, though all qualified applicants are encouraged to apply for this vital research.
