AMIF invites pre-proposals on applied and fundamental research that will improve the control of microbial pathogens in meat and poultry products. AMIF is soliciting pre-proposals on controlling Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in fresh beef products, Listeria monocytogenes on ready-to-eat (RTE) meat and poultry products, and Salmonella in meat and poultry products. The priorities are listed by pathogen and are further categorized within each. Areas of greatest concern within a given research area are highlighted in the Priority Focus category within each pathogen. Research priorities that are outside of the scope of the three referenced pathogens are listed under Other Food Safety Research. As AMIF actively seeks solutions to food safety concerns, proposals that fall outside the scope of the attached priorities will be accepted.
