Description
This funding opportunity, administered by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), supports Technical Assistance – Grant Writing Skills Projects within the Food Safety Outreach Program (FSOP). The goal is to expand and enhance training, education, outreach, and coordination efforts targeting food safety, with a particular emphasis on building grant writing capacity among eligible organizations. Projects should contribute to public health by improving the ability of stakeholders—especially those serving farms, small food processors, and small fruit and vegetable merchant wholesalers—to access and administer food safety programs.
