Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA FD 25 016
FDA's Integrated Food Safety System Training Delivery and Development (RFA-FD-25-016) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration designed to strengthen and advance a nationwide Integrated Food Safety System (IFSS). The central idea is to support coordinated, consistent food safety capacity across jurisdictions by investing in training-related efforts that help align programs, practices, and competencies within the broader national food safety framework. By focusing on training delivery and development, the opportunity is aimed at improving how food safety education and workforce development are created, updated, and implemented so that partners across the system can operate more effectively and in a more standardized way.
This program will be awarded through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the FDA expects to have substantial involvement with recipients during the project period rather than functioning solely as a pass-through funder. The funding activity falls under Agriculture, Consumer Protection, and Food and Nutrition, and is listed under CFDA number 93.103. The FDA anticipates making up to four awards, with an award ceiling of $1,000,000 per award, indicating relatively large projects intended to have meaningful, multi-organization or multi-jurisdictional impact.
Eligibility is narrowly limited: only current recipients under the prior funding announcement RFA-FD-20-024 may apply. In practical terms, this is a continuation or expansion opportunity for existing grantees already working in this space, rather than an open competition for new applicants. The application deadline is August 8, 2025, and the opportunity was created on July 23, 2025.Apply for RFA FD 25 016
