Description
FDA
announces the availability of fiscal year (FY) 2020 funds to support the
collection of data on antimicrobial use in companion animals. The funded data
collection efforts are intended to 1) provide needed information on
antimicrobial use in companion animals (specifically, dogs and cats); and 2)
provide important information on data collection methodologies to help inform
efforts to establish long-term strategies for collecting and reporting such
data. The cooperative agreement will enable the collection of critical
information to support the Center for Veterinary Medicine's goal to foster
antimicrobial stewardship in veterinary settings. The data obtained will inform
antimicrobial stewardship activities and support efforts to assess association
between antimicrobial use practices and
resistance.
