Grant Description

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is being issued to announce the availability of up to three (3) cooperative agreements to be awarded under a Limited Competition. These cooperative agreements are intended to develop, implement, and sustain replicable models of an all-hazards food and foodborne illness Rapid Response Team (RRT) concept within the national integrated food safety system. The goal of these cooperative agreements is to facilitate long-term improvements to the national food safety system by strengthening interagency collaboration and improving States' regulatory and surveillance protection programs for manufactured foods. This will be accomplished through the provision of funding for program improvement and will require extensive cooperation and coordination with FDA District Offices and other FDA program offices. Effective leveraging of resources and harmonization of efforts will require collaboration with relevant initiatives, including those of federal partners (e.g., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service), national initiatives and associations, state, and local partners.
