Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA APHIS 10025 VSSP0000 23 0003
The Antimicrobial Resistance Dashboard 2022-2023 Cooperative Agreements opportunity is a USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Veterinary Services (VS) discretionary funding program that makes up to $3 million available to support projects that strengthen how antimicrobial resistance (AMR) information is handled, protected, and communicated for domesticated animals. The focus is on building and improving practical dashboard-based tools and the supporting methods behind them so stakeholders can better understand where resistant microbes are emerging, how they spread, and what trends look like over time, while still protecting sensitive data.
A major emphasis of this opportunity is the development of AMR dashboard tools that can securely track the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistant microbes in domesticated animals. Proposed dashboards are expected to incorporate strong confidentiality protections comparable to those associated with the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act, signaling that applicants should treat AMR data as potentially sensitive and design systems that prevent inappropriate disclosure. The tool must be able to track microbial phenotype and/or genotype, meaning it should be designed to handle resistance information observed through lab testing (phenotypic resistance patterns) and/or genetic markers (genotypic indicators of resistance). USDA also signals interest in dashboards that do more than display data, such as tools that help reveal new research questions or provide new perspectives on AMR in domesticated animals.
Beyond building dashboards, the program supports work on confidentiality itself. A second topic area invites applicants to identify and/or develop methods to protect the confidentiality of AMR-related data in domesticated animals. This can include statistical methods or other approaches that reduce re-identification or inference risks while still preserving enough utility for monitoring and analysis. In practical terms, projects might address how to share trend information without exposing farm-level or facility-level details, how to handle small sample sizes, or how to design reporting thresholds and aggregation rules that balance privacy with usefulness.
A third topic area targets the human side of dashboard design by asking applicants to identify data user needs and preferences for AMR dashboard tools. This includes defining the essential elements users need to monitor trends in AMR patterns in domesticated animals and exploring how different audiences prefer to see and interact with the information. USDA explicitly names varied intended users such as animal owners and producers, veterinarians, diagnostic laboratories, and the general public. That suggests projects can focus on user research, requirements gathering, usability testing, or designing visualization approaches that communicate uncertainty, context, and trend signals appropriately for each group.
A fourth topic area addresses the underlying data management required to make any dashboard work reliably. USDA is interested in projects that explore data acquisition, transfer, flow, storage, aggregation, and analysis. This points to end-to-end system thinking: how AMR data would be collected from relevant sources, moved securely, standardized, stored with appropriate controls, transformed into analytic datasets, and then summarized into outputs suitable for dashboards. Work here could also include governance, documentation, interoperability, and processes that help ensure data quality and consistent interpretation across sources.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means USDA expects substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordination, technical input, or shared decision-making), rather than operating as a hands-off grant. The opportunity is listed under CFDA number 10.025 and the funding opportunity number USDA APHIS 10025 VSSP0000 23 0003. The original closing date for applications was February 20, 2023, and the opportunity was created on November 21, 2022.
Eligible applicants include a range of organizations that are positioned to work with animal health and agricultural data. Specifically, eligibility covers state departments of agriculture; offices of a state chief animal health official; nonprofits; institutions of higher education; state or national livestock, poultry, or aquaculture producer organizations with a direct and significant economic interest in production; state, national, allied, or regional veterinary organizations or AVMA-recognized specialty boards; and tribal entities. This mix suggests USDA is looking for applicants that can combine practical animal health knowledge with data stewardship, analytics, and communication capabilities, ideally in ways that translate into usable tools and methods for real-world AMR monitoring in domesticated animals.Apply for USDA APHIS 10025 VSSP0000 23 0003
