Description
Under
the National Food Safety Training, Education, Extension, Outreach, and Technical
Assistance Competitive Grants Program, NIFA and the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) began jointly funding an infrastructure of national and
regional centers to extend food safety education, training, education, and
technical assistance to those affected by Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
In FY 2016, the Food Safety Outreach Program will build upon that national
infrastructure, with a sustained focus on delivery of customized training to
members of the target audiences. Grant applications will be solicited directly
from those in local communities - to include those from community-based
organizations, non-governmental organizations, food hubs, farm cooperatives,
extension, and other local groups. Successful awardees will be required to interact
with Regional Centers by reporting project outcomes to the Centers.
