The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is forecasting a funding opportunity titled "Animal Food Regulatory Program Standards Implementation Development and Maintenance, with Mutual Reliance Initiatives." This cooperative agreement aims to enhance the capabilities of State animal food regulatory programs to fully implement the Animal Feed Regulatory Program Standards (AFRPS) and to foster mutual reliance between federal and state regulatory efforts. The initiative is critical for establishing a nationally integrated animal food safety system, ensuring that state programs can effectively standardize processes and procedures in collaboration with federal resources. Interested organizations can apply for funding amounts set at $10,600,000, with an expected 30 awards available for fiscal year 2025.
