Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NIFA OP 009161
The Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) designed to strengthen and coordinate U.S. research that connects genetic information (genomes) to observable traits and performance outcomes (phenomes) in agriculture. The core purpose is community-building through collaborative science engagement, with an emphasis on bringing together researchers who work across both crop and animal systems. By building these cross-sector research networks, AG2PI aims to lay long-term groundwork for expanding shared knowledge, tools, and approaches that help explain how genetics and biology translate into traits that matter for U.S. agricultural productivity, resilience, sustainability, and competitiveness.
The opportunity is framed around linking genomics with predictive phenomics, meaning it supports efforts that not only measure traits but also improve the ability to predict them based on genetic and phenotypic data. This work is positioned as a catalyst for advances that produce societal and environmental benefits, such as improving efficiency, enhancing climate and disease resilience, supporting animal and plant health, and enabling more sustainable production systems. AG2PI is explicitly aligned with major USDA priority frameworks, including the USDA Science Blueprint, the USDA Innovation Agenda, the Genome to Phenome USDA Blueprint for Animal Genomics Research, and relevant publicly initiated and led crop research initiatives. In practical terms, proposals that unify crop and animal perspectives, methods, or communities are especially encouraged, reflecting the program goal of breaking down silos and accelerating shared progress across agricultural domains.
Eligibility is broad and allows many types of applicants, including state agricultural experiment stations; colleges and universities; university research foundations; other research institutions and organizations; federal agencies; national laboratories; private organizations, foundations, or corporations; and individuals. Groups and partnerships are also eligible, and the solicitation specifically encourages applications from consortia composed of two or more eligible entity types. Applicants are expected to meet all requirements outlined in the request for applications (RFA), and missing eligibility criteria by the deadline can lead to removal from consideration or prevent NIFA from making an award. For organizations or teams that are new to federal funding, NIFA points applicants to its Grants Overview resources to help navigate federal financial assistance processes and expectations.
