Cooperative Agreements for Implementation of the National Animal Identification System (NAIS) Through Outreach and Education: This is a modification to a previous announcement USDA-GRANTS-092007-001 to extend the application deadline. USDA initiated implementation of the National Animal Identification System (NAIS) in 2004. The Departments first priority with the initial funding in fiscal year (FY) 2004 was to have the components of the national premises registration system in place in every State by July 2005. With this accomplished, the priority has been to promote voluntary NAIS participation by focusing on the premises registration component. As of July 2, 2007, over 403,000 premises have been registered nationwide, or approximately twenty-eight percent of the estimated number eligible . As the NAIS continues to develop and expand it has become critically important to continually inform and educate producers about the program. Education and outreach become increasingly important as new parts of the program begin to be implemented. Through program review, focus groups, and producer interaction and comments, the USDA realizes the need for, and importance of working, with various industry organizations and universities to provide accurate information on the NAIS to individuals that raise and care for livestock and poultry. In particular, USDA plans to partner with organizations to inform stakeholders on the need for improved animal disease traceability and how NAIS can benefit producers that move livestock and poultry into commercial channels. This particular funding opportunity is to support NAIS outreach, educational and premises registration activities to the small/economically disadvantaged agriculture/livestock based producer communities. Funding through this announcement will be provided to 1890 Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions, 1994 Tribal Land-Grant Colleges and Universities, or Tribal organizations to join with Non-profit Industry/Community Based Organizations (CBOs) to further education and outreach efforts regarding NAIS. The NAIS is an industry-State-Federal partnership. In response to stakeholder input, on October 31, 2006, USDA unveiled an updated, uniform educational message for all individuals, businesses, and organizations that focuses on the benefit of the NAIS to producers. Applications for this cooperative agreement funding must include a plan for education and outreach, including effective use of existing outreach materials and resources of the Cooperator and/or other existing resources such as cooperative extension, National and State industry organizations, to stakeholders at all levels within the targeted geographic area defined in the applicants proposal. The work plans must include specifics about the outreach and/or education to include meeting/ training schedules, expected participants, agenda/program etc. Applications must present well-defined, outreach/education plans and goals specific to providing the "facts" about NAIS to a broad spectrum of producers with a focus on small and limited resource producers. Total allocation of funding will be dependent upon achieving projected results with an assessment mid-way through the cooperative agreement period. The cooperative agreement period will be for 12 months, initiated on the final date of the signing of the Notice of Award. This funding opportunity does NOT include funds for conducting pilot projects to develop solutions for animal identification and/or collecting animal movement data. Similarly, funds are not to be used for the purchase of animal identification devices or the development, support, or maintenance of information systems. The work plan must describe in detail the resources needed, training required, if any, and timelines for achieving measurable outcomes.
