This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is issued by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM), and solicits Research Project (R01) grant applications from institutions or organizations that propose to develop or support the development of designated new animal drugs intended for minor uses in major species or for use in minor species (MUMS). The FDA is authorized to provide grants to assist in defraying the costs of qualified safety and effectiveness testing that could be used to satisfy the requirements for FDA approval of MUMS-designated drugs.Only entities developing drugs for veterinary use or parties working as research partners with such entities are eligible for grants.The organization (or applicant) seeking approval of the new animal drug under investigation must have opened an Investigational New Animal Drug (INAD) file with FDA/CVM and must hold a minor use or minor species "designation" granted by FDA/CVM's Office of Minor Use and Minor Species Animal Drug Development (OMUMS) for that drug for a specified intended use, in accordance with the provisions of section 573 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360ccc-2) and 21 CFR part 516.FDA/CVM's Office of New Animal Drug Evaluation (ONADE) must have reviewed and concurred with the proposed study protocol before an applicant can submit a grant application.

The intended outcome of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to advance efforts for a nationally Integrated Food Safety System (IFSS) by supporting Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS), Food Protection Task Force (FPTF) programs, Dietary Supplement (DS) programs, and special projects. For the purposes of this NOFO, the term state encompasses all eligible organizations as defined in Section 3. MFRPS Development or Maintenance: The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) section is to advance efforts for a nationally Integrated Food Safety System (IFSS) by assisting state manufactured food regulatory programs to achieve and maintain conformance with the most current version of the Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS). The MFRPS are intended to ensure that state manufactured food regulatory programs implement a high-quality regulatory program through the development and maintenance of a regulatory framework that builds on and emphasizes mutual reliance with all programs. Also, the program standards are intended to enhance food safety by establishing a uniform basis for measuring and improving the performance of manufactured food regulatory programs in the United States. Conformance with these program standards will help federal and state programs better direct their regulatory activities at reducing foodborne illness hazards in plants that manufacture, process, pack, or hold foods. Food Protection Task Force (FPTF): The purpose of this funding option is to establish and/or support a Food Protection Task Force (FPTF) with diverse membership representative of stakeholders across the state that is responsible for promoting the integration of an efficient statewide human and animal food (HAF) protection system that addresses state and region-specific needs and that maximize the protection of the public health. These efforts include: establishing a food safety/protection network of subject matter experts, fostering educational opportunities, developing replicable resources and systematically fostering communication, education, outreach, cooperation and collaboration within the states among federal, state, local, tribal and territorial HAF protection, public health, agriculture, and regulatory agencies, industry, academia, and consumers to initiate and/or support HAF protection activities to improve public health. A strong FPTF can also help improve human and animal food emergency surveillance, response, and post-response systems by focusing on preparedness, building strong communication channels, and establishing relationships with key players before food-related incidents occur. Dietary Supplements: The goal of this funding option is to facilitate the development of state driven dietary supplement regulatory framework and programs. The overall objective of this funding opportunity is to advance the adoption and implementation of the cGMPs for Dietary Supplements Rule codified at 21 CFR Part 111. Specifically, this track will provide funding support for dietary supplement training and program development activities. Special Projects: The purpose of this funding option is to develop and implement special projects that support innovation and integration in a IFSS using the MFRPS framework. This track will support other emerging food safety priorities that develop over the lifespan of the project. State programs will be expected to share project deliverables and resources developed with other programs.

The Pool Safely Grant Program funding opportunity assists states, local governments, and Native American Tribal Governments in implementing enforcement and education programs to prevent the drowning and drain entrapment of children in pools and spas.

The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to support efficient natural history studies alone or in conjunction with the development and validation of clinical outcome assessments (COAs) and/or biomarker studies to address the unmet needs in rare neurodegenerative diseases for children and adults. Through the support of studies with high quality and interpretable data elements, FDA expects to address critical knowledge gaps, remove major barriers to progress in the field, exert a significant and broad impact on a specific rare neurodegenerative disease or multiple rare neurodegenerative diseases with similar pathophysiology, and facilitate rare disease product development.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeks applications to develop, implement, and evaluate a human abuse potential (HAP) study of botanical Kratom. FDA has previously warned consumers about the use of Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa), a plant indigenous to Southeast Asia. Kratom alkaloids have demonstrated both affinity and activity at receptor sites known to be associated with abuse, such as mu opioid receptors. Although Kratom use is prevalent, to date, clinical evaluations of its abuse potential have been limited. The proposed HAP study should be performed in accordance with the guidance for industry, "Assessment of Abuse Potential of Drugs," including (but not limited to) the selection of an appropriate comparator(s) and outcome measures, statistical analyses etc. Interested parties, will also complete the submission of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application and obtain Institutional Review Board (IRB) clearance.

This funding opportunity supports a national initiative to educate and empower Medicare beneficiaries and their families against fraud and abuse, by providing resources and training to organizations dedicated to this mission across the U.S. and its territories.
