National Research Initiative - Plant Biosecurity
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. This program supports integrated projects aimed at ensuring a continued supply of safe, high-quality, affordable food and fiber for consumers in the U.S. and international trade partners. The goal of the program is to harness our Nation's scientific and technological resources to help agricultural producers and professionals implement strategies to safeguard agriculture in the U.S. from critical and emerging high-consequence plant pathogens and arthropods.
