Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA APHIS 10025 OA000000 23 0001
The USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) grant opportunity titled "USDA APHIS American Rescue Plan: SARS-CoV-2 in Animals" is a discretionary funding program created to carry out the animal health provision in Section 1001 of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARP). The core purpose is to strengthen the United States' ability to understand, detect, and respond to SARS-CoV-2 infections in animal populations by filling key knowledge and capability gaps that affect animal health, public health, and broader One Health preparedness.
The program focuses on several interconnected research and implementation needs. A major emphasis is closing gaps in surveillance for SARS-CoV-2 in animals, meaning projects may aim to expand where and how testing occurs, improve coverage for species or settings that have been under-sampled, and build more reliable systems for monitoring infection over time. APHIS also intends to support work that determines how susceptible particular "target species" are to infection, which helps identify which animals are most likely to become infected and potentially serve as reservoirs. Related to that, the opportunity supports studies that clarify transmission mechanisms across different animals and contexts, helping explain how the virus spreads within and between animal populations, and under what conditions spillover or spillback risks might increase.
Another major priority area is improving diagnostic and surveillance tools and strategies across multiple species. This includes developing and optimizing testing methods, validating assays for different animal sample types, and designing surveillance approaches that can be applied in practical field settings. Beyond detection, the grant opportunity also calls for projects that develop prevention and intervention strategies, which could include approaches to reduce transmission risk, improve biosecurity practices, guide management decisions in animal settings, or evaluate other measures that help prevent outbreaks and limit impacts if infections are detected.
Funding is provided through cooperative agreements, reflecting an expectation of substantial involvement and collaboration with APHIS rather than a hands-off grant structure. For 2023, APHIS planned to make available up to 25,000,000 total to support SARS-CoV-2 in Animals projects. Individual proposal budgets could request up to 5,000,000 per proposal for SARS-CoV-2 in Animals activities, and applicants were allowed to submit multiple proposals as long as each was submitted as a separate proposal package.
Projects are expected to align with the funding priority topics listed in the agency's General Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), specifically the section referenced as General FOA, Section A.2, and awards are made to eligible entities described in General FOA, Section C. Eligible applicants are broadly defined as cooperators within U.S. States and territories and include State and Federal agencies (with APHIS excluded as the primary cooperator), Tribal nations, universities, nongovernmental organizations, and private entities. In practical terms, this structure encourages partnerships across government, academia, and industry to produce usable surveillance data, validated tools, and actionable strategies that improve readiness for SARS-CoV-2 in animal populations.
Key administrative details from the source listing include the funding opportunity number USDA APHIS 10025 OA000000 23 0001, CFDA number 10.025, and an original closing date of 2023-02-03. Additional applicant guidance and program details were provided through the APHIS One Health funding opportunities webpage referenced in the notice.Apply for USDA APHIS 10025 OA000000 23 0001
