### About the Livestock Enteric Methane Emission Reduction Research Program The **Livestock Enteric Methane Emission Reduction Research Program (LEMER-RP)** is a research grant program led by the California Department of Food and Agriculture’s Office of Agricultural Resilience and Sustainability (OARS).
Established by the **Budget Act of 2022 (AB 179, Section 194)**, LEMER-RP aims to reduce methane emissions in California’s dairy and livestock sectors by funding practical, science-based demonstration projects. The program supports California’s commitment to reducing methane emissions to **40% below 2013 levels by 2030**, as required under **SB 1383 (Lara, 2016)**.
A total of **$10 million** was appropriated from the **Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF)**, with **$9. 46 million** designated for competitive grant awards.
Projects funded through LEMER-RP focus on two primary strategies: #### Feed Additive Demonstration Projects Research trials that evaluate the effectiveness of feed additives or ingredients with **scientifically demonstrated potential to reduce enteric methane emissions** in livestock.
#### Dietary Modification Trials Projects exploring dietary changes or feed formulation strategies aimed at **reducing methane emissions from enteric fermentation** in ruminants, including dairy cows and other livestock. These demonstration projects are designed to help overcome technical, logistical, and adoption-related barriers to widespread implementation of methane-reducing practices in California agriculture.
### Research Projects Solicitations The Research Project solicitation is closed. In the 2023 funding cycle, CDFA awarded seven research projects, totaling **$9. 46 million** in grant funding to universities across the state and the country.
