Agency

US Department of Agriculture – Foreign Agricultural Service Office of Agreements and Scientific Affairs

 

Description

The USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service Office of Agreements and Scientific Affairs announces an open competition for multi-year cooperative agreement proposals to design, plan, and implement nutrition workshops and seminars for foreign regulatory officials on the margins of international meetings and in key trade countries or regions, pending the availability of funds. The workshops and seminars will inform foreign regulators and policy-makers on options to promote an evidence-based approach to nutrition policy as they tackle diet related non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as obesity. The seminars should focus on science- and evidence-based approaches to improve healthy eating in their countries by broadening the bucket of options beyond the trade-restrictive regulations (see background section, below, for more information) that are being increasingly adopted around the world.
