About this opportunity
The Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is seeking state egg regulatory programs to participate in a Cooperative Agreement aimed at advancing a nationally integrated food regulatory system. The primary objective is to help state programs achieve full conformance with the Egg Regulatory Program Standards (ERPS) within five years of initial funding. Key requirements include developing an implementation plan, enhancing egg regulatory programs to advance public health, and sharing regulatory inspection, compliance, enforcement, and laboratory information with the FDA. Applicants must focus on improving state regulatory resources and directing activities to reduce egg-related illnesses associated with shell egg hazards in facilities that produce, process, pack, hold, or transport shell eggs. The grant opportunity was posted on July 11, 2025, with proposals due by August 12, 2025, under the Food and Drug Administration Research program (CFDA 93.103).
While specific award amounts are not explicitly stated, the grant is structured as a Cooperative Agreement with a $0.00 award floor, suggesting flexibility in funding levels. The program is designed for a five-year implementation period, focusing on state-level regulatory programs across the United States. Performance will primarily occur at state regulatory agencies' facilities, with close collaboration with the FDA to improve egg safety and regulatory standards. The grant falls under the civilian federal agency category and is part of the broader FDA Research program, which typically supports projects ranging from $20,000 to over $2,000,000.
