The US Poultry & Egg Association and USPOULTRY Foundation recently approved $380,000 for four new research grants at four institutions through the Comprehensive Research Program. The research funding was approved by the boards of directors of both organizations, following recommendations from the Foundation Research Advisory Committee. Composed of experts from diverse sectors of the poultry and egg industry, the committee includes professionals from various scientific disciplines.

“One of the many pillars of USPOULTRY's and the Foundation’s service to the poultry industry is research. Evaluating the multitude of research projects requires not just time, but a deep commitment to understanding their potential impact, as each decision shapes the future of innovation and progress in our industry. Members of the FRAC spend countless hours reviewing and evaluating the proposals before making recommendations for funding, and we appreciate their time and commitment,” said Jonathan Cade, Hy-Line International, and USPOULTRY chair.
