National Animal Disease

Preparedness and Response Program

Last Modified: 

Print

The National Animal Disease Preparedness and Response Program (NADPRP)

strengthens our country's ability to combat animal disease outbreaks. Through this

program, APHIS provides tens of millions in funding to States, producer

organizations, universities, and others to carry out high-value projects that help our

Nation prepare for the most critical animal health threats facing U.S. livestock

industries today.

Funded projects address priority topics in controlling animal disease outbreaks, such

as developing response plans, training first responders, and increasing producer use

of biosecurity measures. This work is vital for protecting animal health, public

health, and our Nation's food supply.

NADPRP is one of many programs supported through the 2018 Farm Bill. Read more

about our Farm Bill programs and explore funding opportunities.

health officials, livestock industry organizations, and academia. It also includes a
