Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA APHIS 10025 OA000000 23 0003
The USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) American Rescue Plan: SARS-CoV-2 in Animals Tribal Funding Opportunity is a discretionary federal grant program designed to help Tribes, Tribal Nations, and organizations working on their behalf strengthen efforts to understand, detect, and reduce SARS-CoV-2 risks in animals. Delivered through cooperative agreements, the opportunity sets aside up to $5,000,000 in total funding to support projects that improve animal-related COVID-19 surveillance and response capacity in Tribal contexts, with an emphasis on practical public health and agriculture outcomes at the human-animal interface.
The program focuses on four connected priority areas. First, it aims to close gaps in surveillance and investigation for SARS-CoV-2 in animals, explicitly spanning farmed animals, captive wildlife, free-ranging wildlife, and companion animals. This means projects can center on monitoring, sampling, testing workflows, field investigations, and data collection systems that help detect infections or exposure in animal populations where information is limited or where local capacity needs to be built or expanded.
Second, the opportunity supports work that expands knowledge about which species are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 and how that susceptibility might influence transmission pathways. In practical terms, this could include studies or monitoring efforts that clarify whether certain animals are at higher risk, how infections may spread within or between species, and what those patterns might mean for spillover or spillback between humans and animals. The intent is to strengthen scientific understanding in ways that help decision-makers and animal health professionals better anticipate and manage risks.
Third, APHIS is seeking projects that improve the rapid detection and characterization of new SARS-CoV-2 variants in animal settings. The goal is to strengthen early warning capabilities by developing or improving surveillance tools, testing strategies, and variant-tracking approaches that can identify emerging changes in the virus quickly. This priority is framed as a way to prevent or limit future outbreaks by spotting concerning developments early, particularly when they may affect animal populations or create new transmission dynamics.
Fourth, the program supports identifying effective interventions and other measures to prevent transmission at the human-animal interface and to reduce potential impacts to the food supply. This includes approaches that help stop or reduce spread between people and animals, as well as strategies that protect agricultural or food-related systems from disruptions linked to animal infections. The emphasis is on actionable prevention and mitigation, not just observation, and can cover operational measures, best practices, or other applied solutions suited to local conditions.
Eligible applicants include Tribes and Tribal Nations directly, as well as Tribal organizations and other entities working on behalf of Tribes. The eligibility scope explicitly includes academic institutions, non-profit organizations, and individuals when they are applying in support of Tribal efforts or priorities. The funding is listed under CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 10.025, and the opportunity is administered by USDA APHIS. The original application closing date for the posted cycle was February 3, 2023, and the funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that recipients should expect substantial involvement or coordination with the federal agency during the project period.
