Retail Program Standards Mentorship Program
Initially funded through a cooperative agreement between NACCHO and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), this program has historically connected retail food regulatory program practitioners who are experienced in the Retail Program Standards with those who are newly enrolled and looking for assistance, resources, and recommendations for achieving a specific standard. Eligible participants include food regulatory programs operating at the state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) level.
The Mentorship Program continues to be offered to SLTT agencies under the Retail Flexible Funding Model (RFFM) Grant Program from the National Environmental Health Association and the FDA.
