"If it weren't for FFAR, who would be addressing these challenges?" Our board chair, and President of @msstate , Dr. Mark Keenum speaking last week at our annual public meeting. New world screw worm is exactly the type of emerging pest or disease threat our Rapid Outcomes (ROAR) grant program was designed for. A call for proposals on screw worm research was sent out in July, and we have a year round open opportunity to submit research proposals for our ROAR grants if the proposals meet our criteria. We recently had independent experts evaluate that program, and these are some of the key highlights so far: $25M+ in follow-on funding secured 47+ knowledge products generated 124+ peer-reviewed publications bit.ly/3LEwv7g
