**AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** THIS PROJECT WILL EXPAND RESEARCH THAT IS BEING CONDUCTED ON THE GENOMES OF LIVESTOCK, POULTRY, AND AQUACULTURE SPECIES. COORDINATION AND PRIORITIZATION OF RESEARCH BEING DONE BY THE ANIMAL GENOMICS RESEARCH COMMUNITY WILL OCCUR THROUGH FREQUENT IN-PERSON MEETINGS AND VIDEO CONFERENCING, AND FARM ANIMAL INDUSTRY REPRESENTATIVES WILL BE INCLUDED IN THESE DISCUSSIONS. INVESTMENTS IN GENOMIC RESOURCES WILL RESULT IN THE IDENTIFICATION OF GENETIC REGIONS AND GENES THAT CONTROL IMPORTANT TRAITS IN FARM ANIMALS. THE RESULTING KNOWLEDGE WILL BE SHARED WITH SCIENTISTS ACROSS THE WORLD, AND WILL RESULT IN IMPROVED EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF FARM ANIMAL PRODUCTION, THEREBY CONTRIBUTING TO GLOBAL FOOD SUSTAINABILITY.
