Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA FSIS FERN 11252008
The FSIS FERN Training Support Cooperative Agreement aims to strengthen the Food Emergency Response Network (FERN), which includes 150 labs at various government levels focused on threat agent testing. This agreement will enhance the existing FERN training program run by the FDA and USDA by increasing training opportunities through collaborations with industry vendors at regional and national meetings.
Key features include support for purchasing necessary equipment and supplies for training, along with reimbursement for personnel expenses related to the coordination of workshops. However, the agreement does not cover construction costs or travel and lodging expenses for FERN lab attendees; those will be funded separately. Overall, this initiative seeks to improve the diagnostic capabilities and response readiness of FERN partner laboratories in addressing food defense issues and potential outbreaks.Apply for USDA FSIS FERN 11252008
