Implementation of the Animal Feed Regulatory Program Standards (U18 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
The intended outcome of this FOA is to advance efforts for a nationally integrated animal food safety system by assisting State animal food regulatory programs to achieve and maintain full implementation of the Animal Feed Regulatory Program Standards (AFRPS).
The AFRPS Cooperative agreement will provide funding for State animal food regulatory programs that maintain a FDA animal food safety inspection contract to:
• Develop and implement the Standards (AFRPS) • Enhance animal food safety, and • Better direct their regulatory activities at reducing foodborne illness attributed to animal food safety hazards in facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or hold animal food materials/supplies.
In addition, this cooperative agreement may provide funding through regulatory animal food programs for accreditation of laboratories that support animal food programs and may pursue initial accreditation or seek to expand scope of accreditation under the international standard ISO/IEC 1702 5.

Additional Information of Eligibility:
This opportunity is only available to the following State animal food safety programs: State animal food regulatory programs with current FDA animal food safety inspection contracts (providing funding to State agency animal food protection regulatory programs), or those that apply for an animal food safety inspection contract with FDA at the earliest possible date, are eligible to apply for funding under this cooperative agreement.
An animal food safety inspection contract must be executed prior to the cooperative agreement being awarded.
The animal food safety inspection contract must be maintained in satisfactory condition, as agreed upon by the State and FDA during contract negotiations, throughout the cooperative agreement project period.
Competition is limited to these State animal food regulatory programs because the foundational work conducted under the current FDA animal food safety inspection contracts is necessary for the completion of significant improvements in a nationally integrated animal food safety system.
Only primary servicing laboratories are eligible to receive funds through the awardee, in order to help the State animal food regulatory program to implement the AFRPS.
Primary servicing laboratories are defined as State funded regulatory laboratories, funded by the same State as the State animal food regulatory program, which perform 51% or more of the analyses on all samples collected by the State animal food regulatory program.
Current award recipients under cooperative agreements awarded under RFA FD-15-021 or RFA-FD-16-022 are ineligible to apply for this cooperative agreement.
