- What it does
- The National Institute of Food and Agriculture’s Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI) program focuses on collaborative science engagement that brings together a community of researchers across both crops and animals to lay the foundation for expanding knowledge concerning genomes and phenomes of importance to the agriculture sector of the United States. Applications that propose a collaboration among U.S. crop and animal researchers are encouraged. In FY 2022, Congress recognized the value of leading public and land-grant universities with unique high-throughput phenotyping and greenhouse facilities and expertise for plant science innovation, root and rhizome innovation, and food for health. Congress provided funding for the Genome to Phenome program and encouraged NIFA to support the development of tools and datasets that can be used across multiple crop species to develop advanced genome engineering tools for integrated optimization of crop yield and animal feed for improved animal reproduction and nutrition and to mitigate environmental impacts from crop and animal production.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
