USPOULTRY and the USPOULTRY Foundation are accepting research preproposals from colleges, universities and research facilities through Nov. 1 for the 2024 Spring Research Competition. Research proposals are accepted and evaluated for funding twice each year, in the spring and fall. Preproposals are a one-page synopsis of the potential research project. The Foundation Research Advisory Committee, comprised of industry professionals, will review the preproposals and invite full proposals to be submitted that meet current research interests.
A complete list of research priorities, which is updated every two years, is available on the USPOULTRY website. The current list of research priorities 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 uspoultry.org for complete instructions and deadlines to submit a preproposal.
