Food Safety Outreach Program Technical Assistance-Grant Writing Skills Projects

In FY 2026, the Food Safety Outreach Program under Assistance Listing 10.328 aims to enhance food safety education and outreach by awarding grants focused on developing grant writing skills through technical assistance projects. The initiative seeks to expand the capacity of eligible entities to secure funding by improving their ability to design, write, and submit competitive proposals for food safety initiatives. This effort is part of a broader strategy to strengthen outreach, training, and coordination across communities and organizations involved in food safety. Applications must be submitted through the designated portal by the deadline of July 20, 2026, and inquiries should be directed to the point of contact provided by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture-Era. The solicitation, identified by number USDA-NIFA-FA4182-32937, is issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and is open to organizations capable of delivering targeted training in grant writing tailored to food safety outreach. There is no set-aside designation, and the program is administered federally with no specific location requirements for performance. All applicants are expected to align their projects with the goals of increasing access to resources, building institutional capacity, and ensuring sustainable food safety practices through improved funding acquisition. Submissions must respond to the outlined objectives and demonstrate clear strategies for impact and scalability in underserved areas.
