Funds workshops to advance research and knowledge-sharing on the genetics and phenomics of key U.S. crops and animals, aiming to improve agricultural productivity and resilience.
Funder: National Institute of Food and Agriculture-eRA
Due Dates: June 29, 2026
Funding Amounts: $20,000–$50,000 per award; 1 expected award; total program funding $50,000.
Summary: Supports workshops that advance research on the genetic and phenomic basis of agriculturally significant crops and animals.
Key Information: Cost sharing or matching is required.
This opportunity funds workshop grants under the Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI), supporting activities that advance understanding of the genetic and phenomic foundations of crops and animals significant to U.S. agriculture. The goal is to address knowledge gaps, develop functional understanding of genes and germplasm, enhance genetic improvement, and reduce the impact of pathogens. Workshops should facilitate the dissemination of findings and foster collaboration among researchers, stakeholders, and industry.
