Researchers from across the U.S. and Canada are invited to submit their innovative ideas through a new online submission portal to be considered for the 2024 Egg Industry Center Grant Award Program. On average, researchers making the full proposal stage have a more than 50% chance of having their project funded. The deadline for this year's online pre-proposal process is Friday, Dec. 20. Submission details can be found in the Egg Industry Center's Request For Proposal. For this year's new online submission process, email pre-proposals will no longer be accepted.
EIC's 2024 high priority research areas of interest are:
Determination of the optimal light intensity, spectrum, photo period for cage-free pullet rearing that promotes positive welfare and productivity
Novel solutions to key industry diseases, with particular emphasis on False Layer Syndrome, Infectious Coryza, and Infectious Bronchitis
Nutritional strategies to improve net case weights from cage-free laying hens
The EIC Research Grant Program is open to researchers in various disciplines and all research areas that affect egg production. This research is crucial to providing trusted scientific answers which help ensure a sustainable society where eggs and their high-quality protein remains available for a growing population. The Egg Industry Center is committed to continuing to help the research community provide scientific solutions to help egg farmers better serve their customers and consumers.
