Description

The National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI) aims to study agriculturally significant crops and animals in production environments to ensure viable and secure agricultural production. The initiative focuses on filling knowledge gaps in agricultural crops, animal genetics, and phenomics, identifying and understanding relevant genes important to the U.S. agriculture sector. It also seeks to enhance genetics to reduce the economic impact of pathogens and disseminate findings to relevant audiences. Eligible applicants include state agricultural experiment stations, colleges, universities, research institutions, federal agencies, national laboratories, private organizations, individuals, and consortia of these entities.
