Applications for Food Safety Mentorship Program under NEHA-FDA RFFM Grant Program

Oct 01, 2024 | Anu Varma

NACCHO’s mentorship program has historically supported local health departments pursuing the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) Voluntary National Retail Food Regulatory Program Standards. For several years, the program has provided opportunities for local health department staff to learn about the NACCHO Mentorship Program through active participation and training, to share experiences, tools and, and to support the ongoing effort to increase use of the standards nationwide. LHDs seeking assistance are matched with seasoned peer mentors to help progress the work toward meeting the Retail Program Standards while building sustained capacity within the health department. Mentors assist mentees in preparing self-assessments and verification audits and in developing improvement plans.

The RPS Mentorship Program is being offered to state, local, tribal, and territorial agencies under the Retail Flexible Funding Model (RFFM) Grant Program from the National Environmental Health Association and the FDA. The Grant Portal opened for both one-year and three-year grant applications on October 1, 2024.

See additional information on the CY2025-2027 funding cycle at: neha.org/retail-grants.

The portal is open until November 20. Don’t miss out on the chance to apply!

You can also learn more at this informational webinar scheduled for October 29.
