Zoonotic Disease Initiative

Program Information

Popular name

ZDI

Program Number

15.069

Program objective

Assistance will be available for a range of activities with the focus of the program being on strengthening the foundation of an interjurisdictional landscape-level wildlife health and disease network to protect wildlife, ecosystems, economies, and the American public. Funding will be used to establish and enhance Tribal, State, and Territorial fish and wildlife agencies’ capability to effectively address health issues involving free-ranging terrestrial, avian, and aquatic wildlife and minimize the negative impacts of health issues affecting free-ranging wildlife through surveillance, management, and research to protect the public against zoonotic disease outbreaks. Allowable activities include research and extension activities to strengthen early detection, rapid response, and science-based management to address wildlife disease outbreaks before they become pandemics and strengthen capacity for wildlife health monitoring to enhance early detection of diseases that have capacity to jump the species barrier and pose a risk in the United States.
