Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative

Program Information

Popular name

Genome to Phenome

Program Number

10.332

Program objective

The National Institute of Food and Agriculture’s Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI) program focuses on collaborative science engagement that brings together a community of researchers across both crops and animals to lay the foundation for expanding knowledge concerning genomes and phenomes of importance to the agriculture sector of the United States. Applications that propose a collaboration among U.S. crop and animal researchers are encouraged. In FY 2022, Congress recognized the value of leading public and land-grant universities with unique high-throughput phenotyping and greenhouse facilities and expertise for plant science innovation, root and rhizome innovation, and food for health. Congress provided funding for the Genome to Phenome program and encouraged NIFA to support the development of tools and datasets that can be used across multiple crop species to develop advanced genome engineering tools for integrated optimization of crop yield and animal feed for improved animal reproduction and nutrition and to mitigate environmental impacts from crop and animal production.
