What the grant funds

Purpose and Priorities The Food and Drug Administration's (FDA), Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN), is announcing its intent to renew a Cooperative Agreement with an estimated amount of $500,000.00 (direct and indirect costs) for fiscal year 2023. It is anticipated that future years of support will be available, depending on annual appropriations and successful performance. The intent of this cooperative agreement is to fund an entity that has active working relationships with Native American tribes and/or organizations that have demonstrated experience developing and providing science-based, culturally specific food safety training, education, outreach, and technical assistance for tribes, tribal businesses, and/or tribal members, with an emphasis on agricultural production and human food manufacturing/processing. Subcontracts to organizations that meet the intent noted above are encouraged. It is expected that the applicant will specifically include collaboration between and among national and regional tribal stakeholder leaders, relevant tribal organizations, tribal colleges and universities and associated national organizations; as well as land grant cooperative extension programs, and other organizations and partners involved in national food safety efforts, in order to reach the intended audience. In addition, applicants are expected to collaborate with the established FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Alliances. Extensive cooperation and coordination with FDA CFSAN and other FDA program offices, the National Coordination and Regional Centers (established under the “National Food Safety Training, Education, Extension, Outreach and Technical Assistance Program”), and FDA’s FSMA partners at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and other Federal organizations that have a vested interest in food safety among tribal stakeholders is also expected. The primary objective of this cooperative agreement is to develop and provide training, education, outreach, and facilitate identification of appropriate technical assistance resources to produce farming and food manufacturing/processing members of federally recognized tribes related to the applicable federal regulations under FSMA, especially the Produce Safety and Preventive Controls for Human Food rules.
