Description
Congress
authorized USDA to create this new program to address the increasing risk of the
introduction and spread within the United States of animal pests and diseases
affecting the economic interests of the livestock and related industries of the
United States. NADPRP will support multiple projects to prepare
agriculture sector personnel to serve as animal health emergency responders
through targeted training and exercises. The overall objective of the funding
opportunity is to increase capabilities, capacity, and readiness of the nation’s
animal agriculture sector to quickly and effectively respond to animal pests and
disease outbreaks affecting the economic interests of the livestock and related
industries of the United States. In this funding opportunity, the NADPRP is
seeking proposals for projects that will
(1)
advance capabilities and capacities related to rapid
large-scale animal depopulation and carcass disposal in a high-consequence
animal disease outbreak, or
(2)
enhance U.S. livestock
biosecurity.
