SUMMARY:AFRI - FAS Diet\, Nutrition\, and the Prevention of Chronic Diseases (A1344)
DESCRIPTION:Program Area Priority: NIFA requests proposals for integrated projects that help prevent and control chronic disease equitably across the lifecycle by supporting and encouraging culturally relevant\, healthy dietary choices through data-driven\, flexible\, customer-focused approaches. \nApplicants must address at least one of the following and at least one Program Area Priority Approach: \na. Develop\, implement\, and evaluate innovative research\, educational\, and outreach strategies to improve eating patterns that prevent and control diet-related chronic diseases; \nb. Investigate\, assess\, and recommend food and nutrition research and program interventions with the goal to achieve food and nutrition security\, improve and sustain health; or \nc. Improve food security and nutritional health outcomes for racial/ethnic minority populations\, underserved populations\, rural\, or remote populations through an evidence based approach to healthy eating and active living.

SUMMARY:AFRI - FAS Food Safety and Defense (A1332)
DESCRIPTION:Program Area Priority: NIFA requests proposals for basic and applied research that will reduce the risk of intentional or unintentional contamination of foods. \nApplications must address one or more of the following (order does not indicate importance): \na. Develop microbiological methods for enumerating enteric pathogens\, specifically Salmonella\, Campylobacter\, and Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC)\, in large representative food samples designed to represent a food production lot; \nb. Develop microbiological procedures designed to alleviate the need for enrichment in the detection of very small numbers of pathogens in large food samples collected to represent a food production lot; \nc. Develop methods for identifying\, detecting\, and/or enumerating pathogens of relatively high public health risk including persistence or virulence; \nd. Develop and validate advanced and innovative technologies or processes for food processing\, manufacturing\, packaging\, cleaning\, and sanitation to effectively reduce the presence of surviving enteric pathogens in food and processing facilities; \ne. Develop preharvest or postharvest methods to detect\, reduce\, and/or mitigate microbial pathogens\, allergens\, physical hazards\, or toxic chemicals in foods\, such as arsenic\, lead\, cadmium\, mercury\, PFAS\, or emerging chemicals of concern such as micro- and nanoplastics) in foods\, including specific reference to culturally and contextually appropriate approaches (such as Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledge); \nf. Develop methods to identify\, prevent\, or reduce intentional contamination or adulteration of foods; or \ng. Develop and validate novel strategies for the effective control of persistent reservoirs of foodborne pathogens.

SUMMARY:AFRI - FAS Pollinator Health: Research and Application (A1113)
DESCRIPTION:Program Area Priority: The Pollinator Health: Research and Application program supports single-function projects (research\, extension or education) with the goal of promoting healthy populations of animal pollinators in agricultural systems where reliance of crops on pollinators for pollination services is increasing and where declines of pollinators is evident. The declining health of pollinator populations poses a serious risk to crops that depend on pollinators for the production of marketable commodities and could ultimately impact the nation’s food security. Several factors are significantly impacting the health of pollinator populations\, including pests\, diseases\, pesticides\, pollutants or toxins\, nutritional deficits; climate change\, agricultural production intensification\, and habitat loss; reduced species or genetic diversity; and pollinator or crop management practices. Recent research also indicates that changes in bee gut microbial communities could have effects on nutritional health\, disease resistance\, or susceptibility to pesticides. However\, the mechanisms that underlie these effects on pollinator health need further research. Studies involving ecological\, behavioral\, genomic\, physiological\, biophysical\, sociological\, and/or economic approaches will be considered for funding. Targeted multi-year monitoring of selected species in the context of research is also appropriate. Projects using indigenous traditional ecological knowledge are appropriate for this program area priority. \nApplications must address one or more of the following (order does not indicate importance): \n\nFactors that influence the abundance\, diversity and health of pollinators. Examples may include biotic\, abiotic as well as social\, cultural or economic phenomena.\nFunctions of the microbiome associated with pollinators and their role in promoting healthy populations.\nDevelopment and evaluation of innovative tools and management practices that would likely be adopted by stakeholders to ensure healthy pollinators. Examples include\, but are not limited to\, innovative genetic/genomic and breeding tools\, diagnostic techniques\, other cutting-edge technologies\, alternative chemicals or biologically-based strategies to combat varroa mites or key bee diseases.\nDevelopment\, implementation and/or evaluation of management practices of other crop pests/diseases that also ensure protection of pollinators and other beneficial species (e.g.\, integrated pest and pollinator management). Engagement of extension leaders with one or more types of stakeholders (crop producers\, consultants\, agribusinesses\, non-profit organizations\, land managers\, beekeepers or others managing native pollinators) is strongly recommended. Experience working with stakeholders to overcome barriers to adoption of integrated pest and pollinator management practices is recommended. Letters of support or collaboration with stakeholders should be included in the application.\nEducation-only that target K-14 level students to advance learning about pollinators in agricultural and associated landscapes. Non-exhaustive examples of educational approaches include curriculum development\, experiential learning projects\, learning opportunities that increase scientific knowledge\, or other creative projects related to pollinators.\nExtension only projects that include informal training\, workshops or demonstration projects related to pollinators in agriculture and associated systems.

SUMMARY:AFRI - FAS Physiology of Agricultural Plants (A1152)
DESCRIPTION:Program Area Priority: The Physiology of Agricultural Plants program will support projects to improve productivity or other performance factors of agriculturally-important plants (including weeds) using molecular\, biochemical\, whole-plant\, agronomic\, or eco-physiological approaches. The genetic basis of important traits identified through these studies are expected to translate into plant varieties with improved yield or product quality\, or growth resilience to adverse environmental conditions including those associated with climate change. \nThis program area priority will support research in the following areas: \n\nPlant growth and developmental processes\, including plant architecture\, carbon assimilation\, and source-sink relationships;\nMechanisms of plant response to abiotic stresses\, including increased water use efficiency; or\nNutrient uptake\, assimilation\, and/or utilization\, particularly increased plant use efficiency for nitrogen\, phosphorus\, or other supplemental nutrients.
