About this grant
The purpose of the NOFO is to advance efforts for a nationally integrated food safety system (IFSS) by supporting Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS), dietary supplement safety and oversight programs, improved state compliance and enforcement infrastructure, and state Food Protection Task Force (FPTF) programs. The MFRPS are intended to ensure that State manufactured food regulatory programs develop and maintain best practices for a high-quality regulatory program. Also, the program standards are intended to enhance food safety by establishing a uniform basis for measuring and improving the performance of manufactured food regulatory programs in the United States.
Eligibility (from the notice)
Section 1009 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 USC § 399, limits eligibility to State, local, territorial, and tribal agencies and non-profit training entities that collaborate with 1 or more institutions of higher education. Competition is limited to these national organizations/associations for the following reasons:
Limited competition ensures the applicant has responsibility and authority for food regulation in their respective jurisdictions. The contract must be maintained in satisfactory condition. Awardees must have or be willing to enter into a 20.88 information disclosure agreement with the FDA and will be required to have at least a commissioning certificate (or be willing to procure one) in order to facilitate information sharing between other States and FDA.
