Description
The International Consortium for Antimicrobial Stewardship in Agriculture (ICASA) 2026 RFA, administered by the Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research (FFAR), funds research that advances antimicrobial stewardship in animal agriculture. This initiative seeks innovative, practical solutions to promote judicious antibiotic use and enhance animal health and welfare specifically for U.S. beef and swine producers. Proposed research should address sector-specific or cross-cutting priorities, including new technologies, management practices, and system-level interventions that can be adopted at scale.
