(Waiting for USDA-ARS Approval to Open)

NewPPWe are awaiting approval from USDA-ARS. 

 

The FY26 RFP will open once confirmation is received from USDA-ARS. Given delays, the Letter of Intent process is no longer required, all category submissions will go direct to the pre-proposal stage.

The USWBSI is a national multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional research consortium whose goal is to develop effective control measures that minimize the threat of Fusarium Head Blight (scab), including the production of mycotoxins, for producers, processors and consumers of wheat and barley. The USWBSI’s annual budget comes from Federal funds appropriated through the USDA-ARS and is currently distributed to nearly 150 research projects in more than 30 states.
