About this opportunity
The Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Center for Food and Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) is offering a single-source cooperative agreement to Cornell University to support multidisciplinary applied research projects on the effects of various dairy processing methods on the inactivation of Highly Pathogenic H5N1 Avian Influenza (HPAI H5N1) virus. The research aims to examine factors such as pH, water activity, and thermal inactivation kinetics in raw milk cheese aging, acidification of waste milk, and a variety of dairy products. The agreement also seeks to provide additional HPAI H5N1 testing capabilities and capacity to help meet FDA's research agenda, as well as facilitate engagement with academic and industry stakeholders. The opportunity is posted under the FDA Research program (CFDA 93.103), with a due date of August 30, 2024.
The funding for this single-source cooperative agreement is not specified, but projects under the FDA Research program typically range from around $200,000 to over $3 million, with 1-4 year project periods. The work is expected to be performed at Cornell University's facilities, which include the Center for Veterinary Medicine and the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences.
Synopsis
The Food and Drug Administration's (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 Cornell University to support the Center for Veterinary Medicine and the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. The purpose of this support is to:
1. Carry out multidisciplinary applied research projects on raw milk cheese aging to examine factors that affect Highly Pathogenic H5N1 Avian Influenza (HPAI H5N1) virus inactivation, to include pH and water activity.
2. Carry out multidisciplinary applied research projects on commonly used acidification methods for treatment of waste milk to be fed to calves, or for disposal, to understand effects on HPAI H5N1.
3. Carry out multidisciplinary applied research projects to characterize the thermal inactivation kinetics of HPAI H5N1 in a wide variety of dairy products.
4. Provide additional capabilities and capacity for HPAI H5N1 testing as needed to help meet the needs of FDA's research agenda. 5. Engage with academic and industry stakeholders to help ensure work is complementary of other ongoing research in these research spaces and to facilitate the use of the information produced by the research program.
