The International Consortium for Antimicrobial Stewardship in Agriculture (ICASA) – is soliciting Letters of Intent (LOI) for research concepts for potential funding and collaboration. ICASA, a public-private partnership, is focused on antibiotic stewardship in animal agriculture and has committed to investing in research to accelerate innovation and antibiotic stewardship across the livestock supply chain.
ICASA is seeking novel research that improves our understanding of liver abscess pathobiology, epidemiology and metaphylactic treatment in beef cattle. LOIs should be relevant to commercial production systems, breeds and management practices in the US. While some research results may not be ready for field application at this early stage, applicants may describe how the results of their work could be further developed towards the goal of supply chain implementation/adoption.
LOIs should demonstrate a thorough understanding of existing literature and plans for integrated Extension activities and/or widescale dissemination of results and educational materials to producers and/or allied industry.
A maximum request of up to $300,000 dollars is available per project. Projects up to 2 years in length are eligible for funding. ICASA anticipates awarding approximately $1-2 million under this funding opportunity.
