About this opportunity
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing a cooperative agreement opportunity to support the Illinois Institute of Technology's Institute for Food Safety and Health (IFSH). The purposes of this continued support are to carry out multidisciplinary applied research projects on food safety and processing technologies, maintain and facilitate the further development of the IFSH collaborative research program, engage with stakeholders to develop and implement training and outreach programs, and support the implementation of the new unified Human Foods Program's Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA)-based New Era of Food Safety priorities. The eligible applicant is the Illinois Institute of Technology, and the evaluation will focus on the applicant's ability to achieve the stated objectives. The application is due by August 6, 2024.
This cooperative agreement is part of the FDA Research program (CFDA 93.103), which provides financial assistance for research, demonstration, education, and information dissemination activities related to FDA-regulated products. Award values can range from a few hundred thousand dollars to multi-million dollar projects spanning several years. The performance location is expected to be at the Illinois Institute of Technology's facilities or other appropriate sites depending on the project requirements.
Synopsis
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)/ Center for Food and Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) is announcing its intention to receive and consider a single source application for the award of a cooperative agreement in fiscal year 2024 to the Illinois Institute of Technology to support the Institute for Food Safety and Health (IFSH). The purposes of this continued support are to:
1. Carry out multidisciplinary applied research projects on pre- and postharvest processing preventive control measures, on food processing and packaging technologies, on the impact of these processing strategies on the nutritional quality of food, and on laboratory method performance (including method validation) that address research needs associated with FDA-regulated products, fill knowledge gaps identified in prevention strategies, and that are consistent with the Deputy Commissioner of Food's vision for the implementation of the new Human Foods Program (HFP) Science and Research Strategic Plan;
2. Maintain and facilitate the further development of the IFSH collaborative research program by leveraging resources among U.S. government agencies, universities (including other IIT components), and the food industry to achieve practical Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA)-based, technology-enabled New Era of Food Safety solutions to food safety and food processing issues.
3. Engage with stakeholders to develop and implement training, outreach and communication programs, to identify research needs, and to facilitate the use of the information produced by the research program; and
4. Support the implementation of the new unified HFP FSMA-based New Era of Food Safety priorities through research, education, and outreach, with emphasis on the development of strategies for prevention, exploration of opportunities for data sharing, and adoption of root cause analysis (RCA) into agency post-response efforts associated with the safe and sustained manufacturing, processing, packing, and holding of food.
