NIFA is offering the “Critical Issues: Emerging and New Animal Pests and Diseases Program” grant to provide one-time seed funding for immediate attention to urgent animal health challenges. This grant is for initiating critical research and development efforts until longer-term resources can be secured. Priority is given to collaborative teams demonstrating expertise in leveraging existing capabilities and conducting time-critical research. Currently, the program seeks proposals focused on advancing new knowledge for improved vaccines and molecular diagnostic methods to control and detect Brucella species infection, particularly in elk populations within the Greater Yellowstone Area. This funding aims to address pressing animal disease concerns efficiently.
