Federal and State Integration Activities to Advance Cooperation and Regulatory Standards Among Animal Food Safety Regulatory Programs

The Food and Drug Administration, under the Department of Health and Human Services, has issued a forecast for a funding opportunity aimed at national feed associations. The primary objective is to enhance the national animal food safety system by fostering inter-agency collaboration, strengthening state regulatory and surveillance programs, and promoting the Animal Feed Regulatory Program Standards. This initiative focuses on the integration of federal and state activities to harmonize animal food safety resources. Success depends on effective cooperation between federal partners, national associations, and state-level entities to improve overall regulatory standards. The opportunity is categorized under NAICS code 813920 and is managed by the FDA grants management office.
