Building an Integrated Information Technology Infrastructure for State Regulatory Programs (U2F) [Clinical Trial Not Allowed]

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement is to build an integrated information technology (IT) data management system and user community to be utilized by state, local, territorial, and tribal (SLTTs) regulatory and public health partners for their human and animal food regulatory and public health programs. This cooperative agreement is intended to establish a robust IT infrastructure to assist SLTT regulatory and public health partners to better manage high quality regulatory programs and advance conformance with the regulatory standards. The IT infrastructure will be designed with the capability to integrate with FDA data exchange systems, which supports information sharing between states as well as between FDA and state regulatory and public health partners. The data management system and user community will support continuing efforts in achieving a national integrated food supply system (IFSS), promoting One Health, supporting domestic mutual reliance (DMR) initiatives and implementing the New Era of Smarter Food Safety Blueprint.
