About this opportunity
The Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is seeking a cooperative agreement with national feed associations to advance a comprehensive animal food safety system. The primary objectives include building inter-agency collaboration, improving state regulatory and surveillance protection programs, and promoting the Animal Feed Regulatory Program Standards (AFRPS). This limited competition funding opportunity targets national feed associations that can effectively leverage animal food safety resources and facilitate harmonization across federal partners, national initiatives, and state partners. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, the grant appears to prioritize applicants demonstrating strong collaborative capabilities, regulatory improvement strategies, and alignment with national food safety standards. The federal grant opportunity is posted on July 23, 2025, with proposals due by August 1, 2025, under the Food and Drug Administration Research program (CFDA 93.103).
The grant falls under the Food and Drug Administration Research program, which typically provides funding ranging from $20,000 to over $2,000,000, with project periods spanning 1-5 years. Although the exact award value for this specific opportunity is not specified, it is part of a broader initiative to support scientific, medical, and regulatory research in public health domains. Performance locations are expected to be at recipient institutions, potentially involving multi-site collaborations or engagement with FDA facilities. The cooperative agreement is designed to support national-level efforts in animal food safety, with a focus on improving regulatory standards and inter-agency cooperation across state and federal levels.
