Synopsis

This cooperative agreement is intended to enhance the capacity and capabilities of state human and animal food testing laboratories in support of an integrated food safety system (IFSS). This is achieved through prioritized sample testing and food defense preparedness in the areas of microbiology, chemistry, and radiochemistry, as well as method development and capacity/capability development projects that support and expand food safety and food defense testing.

Applicant organizations applying for tracks other than product testing must be accredited to ISO 17025 or have a quality system that ensures quality assurance and quality control of laboratory testing including but not limited to: validated methods, document control, training programs, and analyst competency requirements. Applicant organizations applying to any track other than Whole Genome Sequencing must have a valid 20.88 agreement with FDA prior to the time of application.
