Search 200+ CPS-funded research projects

You can search every field that's included for every project in our database, so the options are quite broad.

Here are some examples:

  • Produce type: Be general (such as “tree fruit” or “leafy greens”) or specific (“apples”, “romaine”). Keep in mind that while a project might not be specific to a commodity or supply chain sector, the project's findings might be relevant.
  • Keywords: for example listeria, Listeria monocytogenes, risk analysis, environmental monitoring program, animal intrusion
  • Principal investigator's name, their institution, their state and country
