Food Safety Outreach Program-Community Outreach Projects

In FY 2026, the Food Safety Outreach Program under Assistance Listing 10.328 will continue its mission to enhance food safety through training, education, outreach, and coordination by soliciting new Community Outreach Projects. This initiative, administered by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, aims to expand access to food safety resources and foster collaboration across communities nationwide. Applicants are invited to propose projects that build on existing efforts to improve public understanding of food safety practices, particularly in underserved and vulnerable populations. The solicitation, identified by number USDA-NIFA-FA4182-32935, was posted on June 18, 2026, with a response deadline of July 20, 2026. There is no set-aside designation specified, and the program is open to federal entities and other eligible organizations. All proposals must align with the goals of the Food Safety Outreach Program and demonstrate measurable impacts in promoting food safety education and community engagement.
