**A. Legislative Authority and Background**

[]{.mark}

Section 1433 of the National Agricultural Research, Extension, and
Teaching Policy Act Of 1977, enacted as Title XIV of Public Law 95--113
(The Food and Agriculture Act of 1977) on Sept. 29, 1977 is also known
as the Animal Health and Disease Research (AHDR) Program. This law
provides the basis for Federal funding for research activities into
animal health and diseases at accredited State schools or colleges of
veterinary medicine or agricultural experiment stations that conduct
animal health and disease research.

States are eligible for funds appropriated under this Act according to
the following formula: One half of the State allotment will be
distributed among the States in the proportion that the value of and
income to producers from domestic livestock, poultry, and commercial
aquaculture species in each State bears to the total value of and income
to producers from domestic livestock, poultry, and commercial
aquaculture species in all the States, based on the most current
inventory of all cattle, sheep, swine, horses, poultry, and commercial
aquaculture species published by the Department of Agriculture. The
remainder of the State allotment will be distributed among the States in
the proportion that the animal health research capacity of the eligible
institutions in each State bears to the total animal health research
capacity in all the States, as determined by CSREES.

In FY 2007, CSREES conducted a Grants.gov pilot for the solicitation of
one of the CSREES Formula Programs, the McIntire-Stennis Cooperative
Forestry Program. Under this pilot the institutions were required to
submit a SF-424M Application (Cover Page Form), CSREES Supplemental
Form, and Key Contacts Form through Grants.gov. Please note that this
application package replaced the forms/information solicited each year
by the CSREES Office of Extramural Programs and did not duplicate the
information being collected under the Current Research Information
System (CRIS). CSREES implemented this process for all CSREES Formula
Programs in FY 2008 and thereafter due to the mandated reporting
requirements of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act
(FFATA). Under this law, the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
was required to develop and maintain a public searchable data base for
all Federal financial assistance awards, and Federal agencies are
required to report specific data elements which will be collected via
these applications (e.g., Dun and Bradstreet data Universal Numbering
(D-U-N-S®) numbers, legal names of institutions, legal addresses,
congressional districts, etc.). OMB makes this information available at
[http://www.usaspending.gov](http://www.usaspending.gov/).

In FY 2009, although CSREES will require both an initial submission
(based on estimated amounts per the 2009 Continuing Resolution) and a
final submission (based on the actual appropriated amount for FY 2009
and the actual formula distribution for FY 2009), CSREES will not
require the following forms for FY 2009 for either submission:

\- Standard Form (SF) 424-A, Budget Information for Non-Construction
Programs

\- Budget Narrative Attachment Form

Please note that the submission of this [application package does not
change]{.underline} the following:

-Delegated authorities of the Dean or Director;

-How funds are managed at your institution; and

-Indirect costs and tuition remission are unallowable costs.

Guidelines for the administration of this program are published as The
Administrative Manual for the Continuing Animal Health and Disease
Research Program, which may be accessed at
<http://www.csrees.usda.gov/business/awards/formula/manuals/animalhealth.pdf>.
Please note that any instructions in this FGO supersede policies and
procedures identified in this manual. CSREES will be revising this
manual and will promulgating administrative provisions for this program
through rulemaking which includes a public comment period in 2009.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008 (Public Law 110-161) provides
\$4,614,897 for the AHDR Program under NARETPA section 1433. The
Consolidated Security, Disaster, and Continuing Appropriations Act ,
2009 (Public Law 110-329) provides funding for this program at the FY
2008 appropriated level through March 6, 2009.

**B. Purpose and Priorities**

[]{.mark}

The purpose of this funding is to increase animal health and disease
research activities at accredited State veterinary schools or colleges
or agricultural experiment stations that conduct animal health and
disease research.

**PART II---AWARD INFORMATION**

**A. Available Funding**

Subject to the above 2009 Continuing Resolution, funds will be
distributed to the institutions on a quarterly basis and according to
the amounts allocated in FY 2008. Adjustments will be made to the
allocations for FY 2009 once the FY 2009 appropriations are finalized.
See Appendix A for the specific allocation.

AHDR funds must be fully expended in the fiscal year of appropriation;
no waiver requests may be considered and approved as no carryover
authority is provided in the authorizing legislation.

**B. Types of Submission**

In FY 2009, pre-award form submissions must be submitted to the AHDR
Program as a "new" application on the
[www.grants.gov](http://www.grants.gov/) website.

Specific project details and pertinent information should be entered in
the Current Research Information System (CRIS) as in prior years. CRIS
is the U.S. Department of Agriculture\'s documentation and reporting
system for ongoing agricultural, food and nutrition, and forestry
research and education. CRIS contains over 30,000 descriptions of
current, publicly-supported research and education activities. This work
is sponsored or conducted by the USDA research agencies, the State
agricultural experiment stations, the State land-grant colleges and
universities, State schools of forestry, cooperating schools of
veterinary medicine, and USDA grant recipients. See Part VI.C. for
specific CRIS requirements.

**C. Project Types**

[]{.mark}

Applicants should request funding at the same level as stated in
Appendix A to this announcement. CSREES will fund the AHDR program in FY
2009 for approved AHDR projects.

**B. Cost Sharing or Matching**\
\
7 U.S.C. 3200 provides that "No funds in excess of \$100,000 ... shall
be paid by the Federal Government to any State under this subchapter
during any fiscal year in excess of the amount from non-Federal sources
made available to and budgeted for expenditure by eligible institutions
in the State during the same fiscal year for animal health and disease
research. The Secretary is authorized to make such payments in excess of
\$100,000 on the certificate of the appropriate official of the eligible
institution having charge of the animal health and disease research for
which such payments are to be made. If any eligible institution
certified for receipt of matching funds fails to make available and
budget for expenditure for animal health and disease research in any
fiscal year sums at least equal to the amount for which it is certified,
the difference between the Federal matching funds available and the
funds made available to and budgeted for expenditure by the eligible
institution shall be reapportioned by the Secretary among other eligible
institutions of the same State, if there are any which qualify therefor,
and, if there are none, the Secretary shall reapportion such difference
among the other States."

[]{.mark}

7 U.S.C. 3200 provides that "No funds in excess of \$100,000 ... shall
be paid by the Federal Government to any State under this subchapter
during any fiscal year in excess of the amount from non-Federal sources
made available to and budgeted for expenditure by eligible institutions
in the State during the same fiscal year for animal health and disease
research. The Secretary is authorized to make such payments in excess of
\$100,000 on the certificate of the appropriate official of the eligible
institution having charge of the animal health and disease research for
which such payments are to be made. If any eligible institution
certified for receipt of matching funds fails to make available and
budget for expenditure for animal health and disease research in any
fiscal year sums at least equal to the amount for which it is certified,
the difference between the Federal matching funds available and the
funds made available to and budgeted for expenditure by the eligible
institution shall be reapportioned by the Secretary among other eligible
institutions of the same State, if there are any which qualify therefor,
and, if there are none, the Secretary shall reapportion such difference
among the other States."

**(3) Indirect Costs and Tuition Remission**

[]{.mark}

**PART VIII---OTHER INFORMATION**

**A. CSREES' Grants.gov Implementation Plans**

CSREES is continuing to develop its capacity to exchange proposal and
grant data electronically with its grantees through
[Grants.gov](http://www.grants.gov/) and to process, review, and award
proposals and grants electronically.

In Fiscal Year (FY) 2007, CSREES conducted a pilot on the submission of
the SF-424 Mandatory application package through the Grants.gov website
for the McIntire-Stennis Cooperative Forestry Research Program. The
pilot was successful as all eligible grantees submitted their
applications through Grants.gov.

The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 requires
all Federal agencies to report monthly to a publicly-accessible website
on all Federal assistance awards (including grants). This requirement
became effective for all awards made in FY 2007 and thereafter.

As a result, for the FY 2008 (October 1, 2007 - September 30, 2008) and
later cycles, CSREES is requiring electronic submission through
Grants.gov for all Federal assistance programs (i.e., grants). For more
information about CSREES' Grants.gov plans, including important
announcements, program implementation details, and detailed
requirements, see the CSREES' web site,
<http://www.csrees.usda.gov/business/other_links/egov/egov.html>. The
information on these web sites will be updated as appropriate.  It is
suggested that the sites be visited periodically for important updates.

**B. D-U-N-S® Number**

A D&B Data Universal Numbering System (D-U-N-S®) number is a unique
nine-digit sequence recognized as the universal standard for identifying
and keeping track of over 70 million businesses worldwide. A Federal
Register notice of final policy issuance (68 FR 38402) requires a
D-U-N-S® number in every application (i.e., hard copy and electronic)
for a grant or cooperative agreement (except applications from
individuals) submitted on or after October 1, 2003. Therefore, potential
applicants should verify that they have a D-U-N-S® number or take the
steps needed to obtain one. For information about how to obtain a
D-U-N-S® number go to <http://www.grants.gov/RequestaDUNS>. Please note
that the registration may take up to 14 business days to complete.

**C. Required Registration for Grants.gov**

The Central Contract Registry (CCR) is a database that serves as the
primary Government repository for contractor information required for
the conduct of business with the Government. This database will also be
used as a central location for maintaining organizational information
for organizations seeking and receiving grants from the Government. Such
organizations must register in the CCR prior to the submission of
applications via grants.gov (a D-U-N-S® number is needed for CCR
registration). For information about how to register in the CCR visit
the "Get Started" section at
[http://www.grants.gov](http://www.grants.gov/). Allow a minimum of 5
days to complete the CCR registration.
