5. Statement of Purpose This interactive workshop will provide attendees an opportunity to learn from the FDA about some of our current and future food defense planning tools and resources, while also providing exposure to the latest tool the - Food Related Emergency Exercise Bundle (FREE-B). A demonstration of the FREE-B will be held via a walk-through of one of the exercises, illustrating how flexible and functional these scenarios are in addressing the needs of our State, local, Tribal and territorial regulatory partners.

13. Food Defense Oversight Team • Staff of 8 – actually, 7 • Cory Bryant: new role of Deputy Country Dir. (China) for Food • Currently re-evaluating our mission, goals for FY ‘13 • Research • Outreach • Education and Awareness

14. What is Food Defense? • Food Defense– the efforts to prevent intentional contamination of food productsby biological, chemical, physical, or radiological agents that are not reasonably likely to occur in the food supply • Human intervention as the source of contamination

15. How is it Different from…. Food Safety– the efforts to prevent unintentional contamination of food productsby agents reasonably likely to occur in the food supply (e.g., E. coli, Salmonella, Listeria) Natural / environmental source of contamination Food Security–the reliable availability of a sufficient quantity and quality of nutritious food for a population

16. The Spectrum of Food Contamination *Denotes mode of human interference with wrongful intent

17. Why Are We Concerned? 2010 Beijing - The food poisoning of 203 hospital patients in northeast China was an intentional act, police said… US uncovers plot to poison hotels and restaurants at multiple locations 2007 2003 2010 JOURNAL OF FORENSIC SCIENCES 2003 61 Students felled by rat poison in central China Arsenic Poisoning Caused by Intentional Contamination of Coffee at a Church Gathering Italy on alert for water poisoner 2006 350 Iraqi Policeman Suffer Food Poisoning 2002 2003 'Al-Qa'ida' attempt to poison Rome's water supply foiled 2003 Grocery store worker accused of poisoning beef Milk alert as poison terrorist strikes Intentional contamination does happen

18. Why the Food Supply? • Deliberate contamination could cause: • significant public health consequences • widespread public fear • devastating economic impacts • loss of public confidence in the safety of food and effectiveness of government • disruption of trade • Increased food insecurity

33. Funding Opportunities While many of these funding opportunities are nearly or have closed, the intent of these slides is to raise your awareness as to the variety of grant/cooperative agreement funding opportunities that the FDA provides to our state and local partners.

34. Funding Opportunities Each year, FDA’s Division of Federal-State Relations (DFSR) sponsors several competitive grant/cooperative agreement programs related to food and feed safety and human health issues.  These grants/cooperative agreements provide Federal-State Agencies with the opportunity to enhance or develop new and existing programs intended to aid in safeguarding products intended for human or animal use. FAQs for applying for a grant or cooperative agreement: http://www.fda.gov/ForFederalStateandLocalOfficials/CooperativeAgreementsCRADAsGrants/ucm234535.htm

35. Grants and cooperative agreements are only available to State, local and Tribal governments interested in working on research and non-research projects.  Grants are designed to support Federal-State governments to diagnose, prevent, cure, treat, or mitigate disease (or other conditions).  The maximum grant or cooperative agreement amount and award period is specified in the Request for Applications (RFA). Information on funding opportunities can also be found on the FDA website: http://www.fda.gov/ForFederalStateandLocalOfficials/CooperativeAgreementsCRADAsGrants/ucm234348.htm

36. Innovative Food Defense Program These grants, up to $100k, are designed to generate food defense tools and resources that are easily replicated and can complement, aid in the development of, or improve State, local, Tribal and territorial (SLTT) food defense programs. 3 new recipients were awarded the IFDP grants for FY ’12. Several new proposals are being reviewed, presently.

37. Funding Opportunities: • Innovative Food Defense Program • FREE-B workshops • Small Scientific Conference Grants • Food Protection Task Force Grants • Rapid Response Teams • Capacity Building Grants

38. Innovative Food Defense Program The specific goal of this program is to generate products that complement, develop, or improve State and local food defense programs and which may then be applied to food defense programs nationwide.

39. To date, the FDA has funded greater than $800,000 to 11 sites Completed efforts, to date, include: A food defense toolkit for retail operations (Multnomah County, OR) A retail food establishment assessment / training tool (South Carolina) GIS / Emergency response and coordination tools Several that are still ‘open’ addressing education and training, IT / GIS related, consumer awareness campaigns… Innovative Food Defense Program

40. FREE-B Workshops FDOT issued funs to support 9 ‘exercises’ utilizing the FREE-B tool. FDOT is seeking to evaluate the use of the FREE-B to improve / modify the tool moving forward. Additional funding might be made available , based on successes realized from most recent series of workshops.

41. Small Scientific Conference Grants • Grant funds are awarded to host an annual scientific conference, seminar, workshop, or symposium with a topic of interest and relevance to the FDA Center supporting the grant. • Awards up to $25,000 • Associations currently receiving funds are: National Environmental Health Association (NEHA). Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO), Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO), National Egg Regulatory Officials (NERO), and Conference for Food Protection (CFP).

42. Food Protection Task Force Grants This 5 yr, $10k per year award is designed to support meetings that foster communication, cooperation, and collaboration among state, local, and tribal food protection, public health, agriculture, and regulatory agencies within a respective state. Addresses food safety and food defense issues. In Fiscal Year 2010, the grant increased to $10,000 and the language was broadened to allow participating states to use funds not just for meetings, but for a wider array of food safety activities. Currently 26 states possess a FPTFG award. http://www.fda.gov/ForFederalStateandLocalOfficials/CooperativeAgreementsCRADAsGrants/ucm302069.htm

43. Rapid Response Teams The Food Protection RRTs conduct integrated, multiagency responses to all-hazards food and feed emergencies in various states across the Nation. Nine pilot RRTs are being developed through a multiyear cooperative agreement between FDA and State food regulatory partners. This cooperative agreement requires that these teams engage partners across disciplines and jurisdictions to build core capabilities and explore innovative approaches to response. The RRTs vary from each other in accordance with differences in government structures, geographies, laws, resources, etc http://www.fda.gov/ForFederalStateandLocalOfficials/CooperativeAgreementsCRADAsGrants/ucm297407.htm
