The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Veterinary Services (VS) is announcing the availability of up to $3 million in funds in the Antimicrobial Resistance Dashboard (AMR Dashboard) to support projects in the topic areas listed below.Topic 1. Develop antimicrobial resistance dashboard tools that can securely track the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistant microbes in domesticated animals. The dashboard tool must also include the following elements:a. Ensure similar confidentiality protections to the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act.b. Must be able to track phenotype and/or genotype of microbes.c. This could include dashboards that help us identify new research questions and perspectives on antimicrobial resistance in domesticated animals.Topic 2. Identify and/or develop methods for protecting confidentiality of data related to antimicrobial resistance in domesticated animals.a. This could include developing statistical approaches to improve confidentiality of antimicrobial resistance data in domesticated animals.Topic 3. Identify data user needs and preferences for antimicrobial resistance dashboard tools.2a. This could include necessary elements for using antimicrobial resistance dashboard tools to monitor trends in antimicrobial resistance patterns in domesticated animals.b. This could include preferences for visualizing antimicrobial resistance data in domesticated animals for different intended audiences, such as domesticated animal owners/producers, veterinarians, diagnostic laboratories, or the general public.Topic 4. Explore aspects of data management for antimicrobial resistance dashboard tools.a. This could include data acquisition, data transfer, data flow, data storage, data aggregation, and data analysis.

This funding opportunity is provided to carry out the animal health provision as described in Section 1001 of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARP). Through this provision, APHIS will provide funds to address gaps in surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in animals, determine susceptibility of target species to SARS-CoV-2, understand transmission mechanisms in different animals, develop and optimize SARS-CoV-2 diagnostics and surveillance strategies for multiple species, and develop prevention and intervention strategies. Additional details about this funding opportunity, including additional information for applicants, are available on the USDA APHIS https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/onehealth/funding-opportuniti… website. APHIS will make available up to $25,000,000 in funds to support SARS-CoV-2 in Animals projects in 2023. In this funding opportunity, APHIS is seeking proposals for projects that address the funding priority topics described in the General FOA, Section A.2. Funds will be awarded to eligible entities described in the General FOA, Section C. An eligible applicant may submit multiple proposals for this funding opportunity, requesting up to $5,000,000 per proposal for SARS-CoV-2 in Animals activities. Applicants who wish to submit multiple proposals must submit each proposal as a separate proposal package.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is announcing the availability of up to $5,000,000 in funds provided by the American Rescue Plan to Tribes, Tribal Nations, and organizations working on their behalf to support projects in the priority areas below: 1. Address gaps in surveillance and investigation activities for SARS-CoV-2 in animals, including farmed animals, captive wildlife, free-ranging wildlife, and companion animals. 2. Expand knowledge of species susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 to improve understanding of potential roles or routes of transmission. 3. Develop surveillance tools and strategies for the rapid detection and characterization of new variants of SARS-CoV-2 to support an early warning system to prevent or limit future SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks. 4. Identify effective interventions, and other measures to prevent transmission of SARS-CoV-2 at the human-animal interface and/or impacts to the food supply.
