USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS), and Office of the Chief Scientist will hold a stakeholder webinar on Antimicrobial Resistance on Tuesday, July 19, 2016. The purpose of this webinar is to discuss, prioritize, and develop strategies to help address the most pressing animal health research, education and extension needs related to antimicrobial resistance.
Approximately 4-6 weeks prior to the webinar, NIFA will solicit initial feedback on the top five animal health priorities pertaining to antimicrobial resistance. This information will allow the agency to make more efficient use of the webinar time to thoroughly delineate the research, education and extension gaps related to antimicrobial resistance. Instructions about how to submit pre-webinar input, and the process for registering to participate in the webinar, will follow soon. Information can also be found on the NIFA website: https://nifa.usda.gov/antimicrobial-resistance-stakeholder-webinar.
