Additional Information on Eligibility: Information not provided
Grant Description: USDA initiated implementation of the NAIS in 2004. The Departments first priority is to get the components of the national premises registration system in place in every State by July 2005. The next step is to get a majority of eligible premises in each State registered. Then, identification and registration of individual animals will begin in earnest. Funding will be provided to State and Native American Tribal governments to support the implementation and maintenance of the national premises identification system and NAIS within their respective areas. To meet the educational needs of livestock producers and processors, USDA will work in tandem with States, organizations, and other stakeholders. Applications for cooperative agreement funding must include a plan for outreach to stakeholders. This funding opportunity does NOT include funds for conducting research to develop solutions for animal identification and collecting animal movement data. These projects will compete for funding under a separate announcement.
