The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is offering cooperative agreements to establish, maintain, and sustain multi-jurisdictional Rapid Response Teams (RRTs) for food/feed safety. This grant is for enhancing the national integrated food safety system by improving federal, state, and local emergency response efforts. It aims to strengthen the link among epidemiology, lab, and environmental health components, and improve states’ regulatory and surveillance food/feed protection programs, focusing on manufactured foods, outbreak investigations, and tainted product removal. Furthermore, it supports vital components like training, data sharing, analysis, and communications. Extensive collaboration with FDA, CDC, and USDA is essential to unify efforts for all-hazards preparedness, response, and prevention within the food safety framework.

Eligibility
| Eligible Applicants: | State governments |
| Additional Information on Eligibility: | State Governments: This opportunity is only available to State food safety agencies with current FDA food safety inspection contracts that are also enrolled in the Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS) and currently receiving funding under the Food Protection Rapid Response Team cooperative agreements (RFA-FD-11-013 or RFA-FD-12-014).
Competition is limited to these organizations because they have established Rapid Response Teams and have demonstrated significant achievements in accordance with the goal of developing and implementing rapid response concepts. The foundational work conducted under the current FDA food safety inspection contracts and the MFRPS is both necessary and promising for the completion of significant improvements in food emergency response among federal, state, and local partners through the program described in this funding opportunity. Additionally, this cooperative agreement will require a significant mentorship component which necessitates the participation of only established, experienced Food Protection Rapid Response Teams. Applicants must also maintain MFRPS enrollment and remain under a FDA food safety inspection contract for the duration of the award. |
Additional Information

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is being issued to announce the availability of up to nine (9) cooperative agreements to be awarded under a Limited Competition.These cooperative agreements are intended to develop, implement, maintain and sustain multi-jurisdictional Rapid Response Teams (RRTs) that operate using Incident Command System (ICS)/National Incident Management System (NIMS) principles and a Unified Command structure to support integrated all-hazards preparedness, response, mitigation and recovery/prevention efforts for food/feed within the national integrated food safety system.The goal of these cooperative agreements is to facilitate long-term improvements to the national integrated food safety system by unifying and coordinating federal/state/local food/feed emergency response efforts including:1) Strengthening the link among epidemiology, lab and environmental health components;2) Improving States’ regulatory and surveillance food/feed protection programs (with a focus on manufactured foods) to include foodborne illness/outbreak investigations, removing tainted food from commerce, and root cause investigations; and3) Addressing supporting components, such as training, data sharing, data analysis and communications.This will be accomplished through the provision of funding for program improvement and will require extensive cooperation and coordination with FDA District Offices and other FDA program offices.Effective leveraging of resources and harmonization of efforts will require collaboration with relevant initiatives, including those of federal partners (e.g., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service), national initiatives (e.g., the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, the Integrated Food Safety System (IFSS), the National Response Framework, and the Partnership for Food Protection (PFP), and relevant associations, state, and local partners. |
