The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is forecasting a funding opportunity for a cooperative agreement aimed at enhancing infrastructure development and maintenance for state manufactured food regulatory programs under the Flexible Funding Model. This initiative seeks to support state, tribal, and territorial food safety programs that either currently hold FDA food safety inspection contracts or are willing to enter into such contracts, with a focus on advancing the Integrated Food Safety System (IFSS) through the Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS). The funding will be categorized into two tracks: MFRPS Development, allowing applicants to request up to $300,000 per year, and MFRPS Maintenance, with awards ranging from $340,000 to $1,285,000, depending on the applicant's previous funding history. Interested applicants can contact Terrin Brown at terrin.brown@fda.hhs.gov or (240) 402-7610 for further details, with the fiscal year for this opportunity being 2024.
