Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA FD 22 025
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), offered a FY 2022 discretionary funding opportunity to support outreach, education, training, and technical assistance for Native American tribes aimed at strengthening food safety practices and improving compliance with the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). The opportunity is titled "Renewal - Native American Tribes Outreach, Education, and Training to Enhance Food Safety and FSMA Compliance (U01) Clinical Trial Not Allowed" and was released as a cooperative agreement, meaning the FDA expects to be actively involved with the recipient in shaping or supporting the project as it is carried out, rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal interaction.
The central purpose of the program is to help tribal communities involved in agricultural produce production and food manufacturing or processing better understand and integrate federal food safety regulations and FDA guidance into day-to-day operations. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, the work is intended to be grounded in the realities of tribal food systems. Applicants are expected to study and identify the specific outreach, education, training, and technical assistance needs across tribal settings and then develop, adapt, and deliver materials and training that fit those needs. A key emphasis is on ensuring that training approaches and materials respect and reflect tribal historical experiences, cultural practices, and the regional nature of agricultural production and food processing in Indian Country.
Because this is a renewal-focused U01 cooperative agreement and is labeled "Clinical Trial Not Allowed," the funded activities are intended to center on education, training development and delivery, needs assessment, and related technical assistance work rather than clinical research involving human subjects as clinical trials. In practical terms, the project scope points toward activities like stakeholder engagement with tribal producers and processors, assessment of FSMA-related knowledge gaps, creation or tailoring of culturally relevant educational tools, and hands-on or remote training that helps tribes interpret and implement FDA food safety requirements in ways that align with their operations.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number RFA-FD-22-025 and the CFDA listing 93.103. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement (U01) under the activity areas of Agriculture, Consumer Protection, and Food and Nutrition. The opportunity was created on February 28, 2022, with an original application due date of April 29, 2022. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) was set at $500,000, and FDA anticipated making one award, indicating a single primary recipient would likely lead the national or multi-tribal effort envisioned by the announcement. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the announcement directing applicants to consult the additional eligibility language in the full notice for the exact allowable applicant types, which typically clarifies which organizations or entities can apply on behalf of or in partnership with tribes.
Overall, the grant is designed to build practical capacity for FSMA alignment in tribal food and agriculture contexts by combining needs-driven program design with culturally informed outreach and training delivery. The intent is not only improved regulatory understanding, but also stronger, more sustainable food safety practices that work within the unique governance, traditions, and production realities of Native American communities.Apply for RFA FD 22 025
