- The University of Maryland-College Park will continue its bird flu research with the help of a $5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The Avian Influenza Coordinated Agriculture Project was awarded to the university in 2005 to establish research and education programs to help prevent and control avian influenza.
The project involves researchers and extension specialists from 17 states.
Researchers and educators have established a vast network to study the ecological and biological characteristics of avian influenza viruses isolated from wild birds and developed a comprehensive program to train producers and veterinarians on the culling of flocks infected with avian influenza.
The money will keep the project going for another three years, according to the USDA.
