Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA FD 18 005
The National Laboratory Curriculum Framework Development opportunity is a cooperative agreement announced by the FDA's Office of Regulatory Affairs. This funding is primarily available for national associations that represent laboratories focused on food and animal feed testing for state and local regulatory programs. The FDA guarantees initial funding for one year, with potential for up to four additional years based on performance and federal funding availability.
Eligible applicants must commit to sub-awarding at least 25% of the funds to two distinct associations: one representing state food regulatory officials and the other for state animal feed regulatory officials. The objective is to enhance training for food safety agencies to build an integrated food safety system (IFSS) that aligns with the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) requirements.
The initiative especially emphasizes creating a National Curriculum Standard (NCS) for food safety professionals in over 2,500 jurisdictions across the country. The curriculum framework will cover five professional levels: entry, mid-level, expert, supervisor/manager, and senior administration.
The awardee will develop the curriculum with a focus on outcome-based competencies and training, including key performance indicators and practical exercises designed for various laboratory roles. A blended learning approach is encouraged, combining online and in-class instruction, ensuring that training is tailored to meet practical job requirements while adhering to adult learning best practices.
Funding can cover course delivery costs and instructor training while excluding participant travel and related expenses. The application must include plans for curriculum development, recruitment of subject matter experts, training delivery, and regular progress reporting to the FDA.
Overall, this initiative aims to elevate the skills and competency of food safety regulators, ensuring they are equipped to address current industry needs effectively.Apply for RFA FD 18 005
