NIFA’s Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI), Pollinator Health: Research and Application (A1113) program supports single-function (research, Extension or education) and integrated (research and Extension) projects that promote healthy populations of animal pollinators in agricultural systems where reliance of crops on pollinators for pollination services is increasing and where declines of pollinators is evident. Pollinator health projects address the current problem of declining populations of managed and wild pollinators, such as bees, wasps, flies, butterflies, moths, beetles, and bats.
