AFBI currently conducts both Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD)-funded research and contracted research for a range of other public and private sector customers.
As an independent Non-Departmental Public Body, AFBI will actively seek to extend
this customer base by exploiting its unique breadth of scientific capability in the agriculture, animal
health, food, environment and biosciences areas.
AFBI's Research
aims are to:
- work to the highest quality standards and, where appropriate, achieve formal
quality assurance certification;
- maximise interaction in order to achieve value for money and to ensure that, where possible,
multiple objectives are addressed simultaneously;
- ensure that both short and long term goals can be achieved and delivered effectively;
- develop relevant national and international collaboration;
- protect and manage any intellectual property that arises.
AFBI
recognises that the need for multi- and inter-disciplinary approaches to the design of research projects
requires co-ordination and collaboration. Hence AFBI continues to form and extend partnership links
with relevant Funding bodies and Universities, and participates in the work of appropriate national
and international research bodies.
