Develop solutions for endemic livestock disease: phase two

Deadline: 6 October 2022

The Endemic Livestock Diseases Initiative aims to meaningfully reduce the overall level and impact of endemic diseases on the UK livestock sector, to improve the productivity, health and welfare of animals. Building on the success of the Catalysing Partnerships projects in 2021, and the Priming Partnerships projects which are commencing now, Phase Two of the Endemic Livestock Diseases Initiative will make larger and longer grants available of between £500k- £1 million, to enable research and innovation partnerships that progress challenges associated with endemic disease in livestock. The initiative, which is co-funded with Defra, Daera and Scottish Government, will bring academia and grants will support partnerships with businesses across the agricultural sector, including farmers and practitioners, to co-create novel prevention and intervention solutions. Standard BBSRC eligibility criteria apply.
