USPOULTRY and the USPOULTRY Foundation, through the Comprehensive Research Program, are accepting research pre-proposals from colleges, universities, and research facilities through Nov. 1 for the Spring Research Competition. Research proposals are accepted and evaluated for funding twice each year, in the spring and fall. Pre-proposals are a one-page synopsis of the potential research project. The Foundation Research Advisory Committee will review the pre-proposals and invite full proposals that meet current research interests.
The new list of research priorities is available on the USPOULTRY website. The list includes goals and objectives for the following categories: animal welfare, breeder management (turkeys and broilers), meat bird management, commercial egg production, diseases, environmental management, food safety, hatchery management, nutrition, processing, and employee safety and health. Visit the USPOULTRY website for complete instructions and deadlines to submit a pre-proposal.
