Resumo

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing its intention to accept and consider a single source application for the award of a cooperative agreement in fiscal year (FY) 2002 to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP) to support the Joint Institute for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (JIFSAN), which is located on the University of Maryland campus in College Park, MD. An estimated amount of support in FY 2002 will be up to $3 million per year (direct and indirect costs), with an additional 4 years of support. Competition is limited to UMCP because of the unique partnership between FDA and UMCP. The cooperative agreement will continue to allow for a more efficient use of research, education, and outreach resources which enhances overall public health by expanding and improving food safety and nutrition programs as well as other program areas that impact on public health policy.
