About this opportunity
The Food and Drug Administration is soliciting applications for a cooperative agreement renewal supporting retail food safety regulatory collaboration, with competition limited to non-profit national organizations affiliated with one or more institutions of higher learning and with membership comprising state, local, tribal, and territorial regulatory personnel whose primary duties include retail food safety (21 USC 399). The opportunity carries no specified application deadline in the source material.
Eligible applicants are restricted to non-profit national organizations explicitly meeting the membership and institutional affiliation criteria under FSMA grant-making provisions. The intended outcome is to advance retail food safety initiatives, conduct research related to retail food protection practices, and identify collaboration opportunities to reduce foodborne illness risk factors and associated injury.
No award ceiling, floor, or expected number of awards is specified in the source. Period of performance and place of performance are not stated. Cost share or matching requirements are not specified.
The cooperative agreement represents a renewal of an existing arrangement supporting key stakeholders in retail food safety. The arrangement is structured to help FDA leverage state and local jurisdictions in advancing retail food protection and reducing the national burden of foodborne illness and injury.
The opportunity is assigned to CFDA 93.103, Food and Drug Administration Research. The program has awarded 1,746 cooperative agreements over its 45-year history, with recent cooperative agreement awards including a five-year, $1.3 million PRISM cooperative agreement to the Reagan-Udall Foundation and multiple state laboratory cooperative agreements ranging from $250 thousand to $2.4 million.

The intended outcome of this NOFO is to collaboratively advance retail food safety initiatives to reduce food-borne illness. This cooperative agreement is intended to advance practices in retail food protection, conduct research related to such practices and identify opportunities for collaboration to reduce the occurrence of food-borne illness risk factors.
Eligibility
Competition will be limited to non-profit national organizations affiliated with one or more institutions of higher learning whose membership includes state, local, tribal and territorial regulatory personnel whose primary duties include retail food safety, as explicitly permitted by the grant-making provisions of FSMA (21 USC 399).
