The National Corn Growers Association is calling for a new round of research grants to help farmers manage aflatoxin issues. Letters of intent from collaborators that don’t seek more than the $100,000 per year limit will be accepted by the Aflatoxin Mitigation Center of Excellence no later than Monday, December 1, 2025. The grants program offers research grants for projects focused on solving profit-robbing aflatoxin issues for farmers. Projects funded through the grant program for 2026 should focus on one of three priority research areas, including methodologies and technologies that prevent and—or defend against the presence of aflatoxin, in-field mitigation measures, or post-harvest strategies. While corn farmers in southern states experience aflatoxin challenges every year, these challenges may present themselves in any corn region of the U.S. when the crop comes under stress. The NCGA serves as the management structure to help leverage more dollars for solving aflatoxin issues.
