The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is offering a cooperative agreement for the Environmental Health Specialists Network (EHS-Net) to conduct practice-based research aimed at improving food safety in retail food establishments. Applicants are expected to collaborate with other EHS-Net recipients and partners to develop multisite research projects, conduct individual research tailored to their specific needs, and include environmental health components in foodborne outbreak investigations. This initiative is crucial for enhancing public health responses to foodborne illnesses, particularly in settings such as restaurants and catering services. The total estimated funding for this program is $10 million, with individual awards ranging from $0 to $200,000, and applications are due by December 2, 2024.
