Questions about this grant

How much funding can an applicant receive?
The award is fixed at $1,500,000, and only about one award is expected, so a single organization will receive the full amount.
Who can apply for this grant?
Federal law limits eligibility to State, local, territorial, and tribal agencies and non-profit training entities, and each must collaborate with one or more institutions of higher education. For-profit businesses, including small businesses, cannot apply.
Can a sole proprietor or single-member LLC apply?
No. Eligibility is limited to state, local, territorial, and tribal agencies and nonprofit training entities working with a higher-education partner, so a sole proprietor or single-member LLC cannot apply.
Can a nonprofit apply?
Yes, a nonprofit training entity can apply, but only if it collaborates with one or more institutions of higher education.

Summary

FDA will award a single $1.5M cooperative agreement to one nonprofit training entity (or state/local/territorial/tribal agency) that collaborates with at least one institution of higher education to run the National Coordination Center for the Integrated Food Safety System regulatory and laboratory training system, overseeing administration, governance, standards, and issuing sub-awards.

About this grant

The Office of Partnerships (OP) would like to develop a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to award a $1.5M cooperative agreement to a non-profit entity to serve as the Integrated Food Safety System (IFSS) Regulatory and Laboratory Training System (RLTS) National Coordination Center (NCC). The NCC will provide day-to-day oversight to the RLTS. The RLTS will leverage the expertise and resources of all IFSS partners to improve access to high quality human and animal food regulatory and laboratory training and other learning resources. • Oversee the day-to-day administration of the RLTS and implementation of the IFSS RLTS Strategic Plan and Implementation Plan. • Oversee communications related to the IFSS RLTS. • Update the strategic and implementation plans working with stakeholders. • Complete standing up the governance structure and processes for the RLTS. • Establish a process for stakeholders to recommend changes to training content, design, delivery, and alignment determination standards and policies. • Recommend changes to course content, design, delivery, and alignment determination standards and policies to the IFSS RLTS SC for approval. • Determine alignment of training content with the National Curriculum Standard (NCS) and other RLTS standards. • Charge and oversee committees to develop/revise standards for training content, design, delivery, and alignment determinations and execute other deliverables. • Issues sub-awards and contracts to assist in the execution of the RLTS, as needed.
