##   Human Trafficking Prevention Education (HTYPE) Demonstration Program

09/03/2021

//

The Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is announcing funds for the Human Trafficking Youth Prevention Education (HTYPE) Demonstration Program. The goal of the HTYPE Demonstration Program is to fund local educational agencies (LEA) to develop and implement programs to prevent human trafficking victimization through the provision of skills-based human trafficking training and education for school staff and students as specified in the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2018. Under the HTYPE Demonstration Program, the following activities are required: 1) provide human trafficking education that equips educators and other staff to identify and respond to signs that students are at high risk of or are currently experiencing human trafficking; 2) deliver student human trafficking prevention education that is designed to build student resilience to labor trafficking and sex trafficking by strengthening student knowledge and skills; 3) train qualified individuals to implement and replicate project activities throughout the school district or identified target area(s); and 4) establish and implement a Human Trafficking School Safety Protocol (HTSSP). The LEA must work in partnership with a nonprofit or nongovernmental organization (NGO) to provide all aspects of human trafficking prevention education to students and school staff. The LEA will consult with local law enforcement in the development of the HTSSP, specifically to address the safety, security, and well-being of staff and students and to define the proper and effective role of school staff in responding to potential and confirmed cases of human trafficking, including notifying and engaging parents, guardians, or caregivers, as appropriate.

##   Healthy Lifestyles in Youth

08/09/2022

09/15/2022

The purpose of this program is to support the Indian Health Service (IHS) mission to improve the health of American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN youth through health promotion and health education programs. The goal of this IHS cooperative agreement is to address healthy lifestyle development and emphasize nutrition and physical activity for AI/AN children and youth 7 through 11 years of age. To do this, the awardee must meet the following objectives:• Collaborate with selected Native American Boys and Girls Club sites, via a grant application process;• Provide health and physical education programs; • Help youth achieve and maintain healthy lifestyles through participation in fitness programs; • Help youth acquire a range of physical skills; and • Help youth develop a sense of teamwork and cooperation. These early intervention strategies provide evidence based opportunities to reduce and/or halt the increasing trend of obesity and diabetes among youth and young adults. Native Boys and Girls Clubs that develop a health promotion program that includes the "Together Raising Awareness for Indian Life" (TRAIL) curriculum may help curtail the effects of unhealthy eating behaviors and lack of physical activity that can lead to obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases later in life. The TRAIL curriculum was developed to provide information on good nutrition and to promote physical activity among youth participating in Native American Boys and Girls Clubs. The TRAIL curriculum is a 3-month (12 lessons) program that provides youth with a comprehensive understanding of healthy lifestyles in order to prevent diabetes. Woven throughout the program are self-esteem and prevention activities. Participants draw from Tribal traditions and history to learn about nutrition, healthy food choices, media influences, and the impact of diabetes. The TRAIL curriculum emphasizes the importance of teamwork and community service. Members engage in service projects to improve healthy lifestyles in their communities, including starting community gardens to connect youth to their food source and organizing community-wide physical fitness events.

04/24/2023

The Administration for Community Living (ACL) announces a new funding opportunity to address the needs of people with disabilities impacted by Hurricanes Fiona and Ian. People with disabilities often have unique needs during a crisis. For example, they may have a wider variety of functional limitations, sometimes requiring more supports, many of which are often in short supply during and after a crisis event. It is critical that individuals, service providers, and communities actively engage in emergency planning and response that is inclusive of people with disabilities to ensure they continue to be supported in their communities and not in institutions. Effective emergency and disaster response and recovery promotes and protects the health of people and the communities where they live, learn, work, and play. The disability networks funded by the Administration for Community Living (ACL) play essential roles in that work. As the nation’s visible and trusted network of programs, these organizations provide a variety of services, including those related to assisting with emergency and disaster recovery efforts, such as offering case management support, relocating impacted individuals to safe housing in the community, and ensuring state and local services provided are accessible to people with disabilities. Understanding the resources available and the needs of people with disabilities in their areas, these networks have over 50 years of community experience and possess intimate knowledge of how to address emergencies and disasters.  Puerto Rico and Florida were directly impacted by major category 4 hurricanes which significantly affected the vital services and programs that support older adults, people with disabilities, and their family caregivers to live as independently as possible in their own communities. The Aging and Disability Network has been attempting to meet an increased need for services in impacted communities with current Older Americans Act (OAA) funding, Rehabilitation Act funding, and Developmental Disabilities Act funding. None of these authorities include direct funding for disaster related activities and programs are redirecting funds intended for other activities to address immediate needs caused by the Hurricanes. This funding is intended for the ACL Aging and Disability Network in Florida and Puerto Rico to help advance recovery and response efforts that are inclusive of people with disabilities and provide gap-filling services for older adults, people with disabilities, and their family caregivers for immediate and long-term disaster response and recovery. Examples of activities consistent with the purpose of this directed announcement funding are the following:Program a staffing costs to support response and recovery efforts, including case management.Program materials and supplies costs to support response efforts.General outreach to people with disabilities and information and referral.Monitoring shelters / temporary dwellings for health, wellness, and safety.Coordination with emergency response partners and other local and state agencies to ensure the needs of people with disabilities are being addressed.Providing case management and managing transitions to home / community placement for those placed in skills nursing facilities.Assisting with replacing supplies, durable medical equipment, and medication.Providing food assistance and home delivered groceries / meals.Obtaining needed personal hygiene items.Providing or assisting with access to personal care assistance and transportation assistance.

##   Renewal-Native American Tribes Outreach, Education, and Training to Enhance Food Safety and FSMA Compliance (U01) Clinical Trial Not Allowed

04/20/2023

06/20/2023

Purpose and Priorities The Food and Drug Administration's (FDA), Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN), is announcing its intent to renew a Cooperative Agreement with an estimated amount of $500,000.00 (direct and indirect costs) for fiscal year 2023. It is anticipated that future years of support will be available, depending on annual appropriations and successful performance. The intent of this cooperative agreement is to fund an entity that has active working relationships with Native American tribes and/or organizations that have demonstrated experience developing and providing science-based, culturally specific food safety training, education, outreach, and technical assistance for tribes, tribal businesses, and/or tribal members, with an emphasis on agricultural production and human food manufacturing/processing. Subcontracts to organizations that meet the intent noted above are encouraged. It is expected that the applicant will specifically include collaboration between and among national and regional tribal stakeholder leaders, relevant tribal organizations, tribal colleges and universities and associated national organizations; as well as land grant cooperative extension programs, and other organizations and partners involved in national food safety efforts, in order to reach the intended audience. In addition, applicants are expected to collaborate with the established FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Alliances. Extensive cooperation and coordination with FDA CFSAN and other FDA program offices, the National Coordination and Regional Centers (established under the “National Food Safety Training, Education, Extension, Outreach and Technical Assistance Program”), and FDA’s FSMA partners at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and other Federal organizations that have a vested interest in food safety among tribal stakeholders is also expected. The primary objective of this cooperative agreement is to develop and provide training, education, outreach, and facilitate identification of appropriate technical assistance resources to produce farming and food manufacturing/processing members of federally recognized tribes related to the applicable federal regulations under FSMA, especially the Produce Safety and Preventive Controls for Human Food rules. In addition, consideration should be given to tribal stakeholders not currently subject to the regulatory requirements but that have conveyed an interest in or have identified economic incentives to comply (i.e., marketplace requirements to comply or business growth outlooks) with such regulations. This agreement focuses primarily on the standards for Produce Safety and Preventive Controls for Human Food rules; however, more broadly all regulations under FSMA should be considered by the applicant, as any may apply to tribal members based on their specific operation. Program Area Description FSMA was signed into law in 2011 and provided FDA with a legislative mandate to require comprehensive, prevention-based controls across the food supply along with other prevention-focused tools in order to create substantial improvements in the Agency’s approach to food safety. Standards that FDA is directed to issue under FSMA include requirements for hazard analysis and risk-based preventive controls for both human food and animal food and standards for produce safety, among other rulemaking and guidance development activities. The regulations include requirements for training and employee qualifications. Additionally, FSMA calls for enhanced partnerships and integration with FDA’s food safety Federal, State, local, tribal and territorial partners in order to achieve public health goals. To this end, the Agency has been working with such partners to develop and implement an integrated food safety system. To be successful, an integrated national food safety system must build upon the work currently being done by FDA and our regulatory and public health partners. Additional work is needed in terms of active communication, coordination, and support. One important step towards implementing an integrated national food safety system will entail training, education, outreach and understanding technical assistance needs for tribal members that grow, harvest, pack or hold produce, or process foods. Among other roles, it is FDA’s role and responsibility to collaborate with other food regulatory agencies, but to also assist through incentives or other means state, local and tribal regulatory and public health programs working to meet these standards. To build an integrated national food safety system, new training related to FSMA will need to be available to tribal produce farmers, packers and food manufacturers/processors. FDA anticipates that federally recognized tribes will need food safety education and training that addresses the regulatory requirements of the applicable FSMA rules and also encompasses specific cultural practices associated with produce farming and food manufacturing/processing within tribes relevant to their status as sovereign nations. Additionally, these tribal stakeholders frequently have limited access to adequate and affordable food safety training, education, outreach, and technical assistance. FDA will engage in a cooperative agreement with one or more collaborators that will develop and implement food safety training, education, outreach and identification of technical assistance resources for key tribal stakeholders, including farmers, packers and manufacturers/processors that grow, harvest, pack and hold produce and process food impacted by FSMA. It is expected that existing training materials, such as the standardized curriculum developed by the Produce Safety Alliance or the Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance, would be used as a foundation for customization, where appropriate, to meet tribal needs. In addition, the Sprout Safety Alliance will be a resource for existing training materials specific to sprout growers. Customization of these existing training materials would likely address regional practices and needs, including addressing specific tribal practices associated with produce farming and food manufacturing/processing. FDA intends to work with the recipient to ensure that alternate and customized curricula are recognized by FDA. This cooperative agreement is beneficial to public health because it would further drive compliance with the final federal preventive controls regulations, especially the Produce Safety and Preventive Controls for Human Food rules; would help ensure consistency of implementation throughout the United States; would leverage existing expertise, knowledge, and enforcement authorities of tribal regulatory staff; and ultimately reduce foodborne illness. The program will focus on helping tribal audiences understand and interpret new Federal food safety agricultural production and processing regulations and guidance enacted under FSMA, thus enabling them to implement those regulations and guidelines in their respective environments. The program will begin with assessing needs, capacity and infrastructure, building and evolving to curriculum development and/or adaptation delivering training, education and outreach as well as identifying technical assistance resources for tribal audiences impacted by the new food safety regulations and guidance. The other preventive controls rules are available on FDA's website at http://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/FSMA/default.htm, or upon request. Program Area Priorities This cooperative agreement is intended to develop and deliver training and outreach, develop and provide educational materials using the FSMA Alliance materials as a foundation, and facilitate identification of appropriate technical assistance resources for tribes subject to the applicable preventive controls regulations. The goal of developing and delivering this training, educational material and outreach is to: enhance the fundamental knowledge of food safety and especially on-farm good agricultural practices of tribal stakeholders subject to applicable FSMA regulations. Applications must address all of the following: Demonstrate an ability to reach the target audience and an ability to collaborate and lead relevant partners that also work with the target audience on relevant areas. Such partners include tribal academic institutions, tribal governments, land grant cooperative extension, federally recognized tribal extension agents, tribal NGOs and community-based organizations, and federal agencies with a role in food safety such as the USDA, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Indian Health Service; Demonstrate an ability to develop and implement a training plan that includes project goals that shall significantly advance tribal stakeholders understanding of on-farm produce and food manufacturing/processing safety, taking into account existing materials and also specific cultural practices within tribes and regions, and ultimately increase understanding of the requirements of the Produce Safety and Preventive Controls for Human Food rules as well as other federal preventive controls standards to facilitate and support compliance; Conduct a training, education, and technical assistance needs assessment so that training, education, and outreach can be prioritized within the scope of this cooperative agreement and appropriate resources for technical assistance can be identified; Develop science-based, culturally appropriate training, outreach and educational materials and tools, around the FSMA regulations, especially the Produce Safety rule and Preventive Controls for Human Food rule, for federally recognized tribes. Targeted training and educational materials will be based upon existing produce and human food safety training and educational materials (e.g., FSMA Alliances) to the extent practicable and will address specific (documented and itemized) regional needs where appropriate while otherwise providing for national uniformity; Identify culturally appropriate delivery vehicles for the training, outreach, and educational materials as well as mechanisms to connect with technical assistance resources for federally recognized tribes; Identify and quantitatively characterize the top 20%, but no more than 50 total, of tribes that engage in commercial production of covered produce under the Produce Safety rule as well as the top 20%, but no more than 50 total, of tribes engaged in commercial production of food covered under the Preventive Controls for Human Foods rule; and include within this group, identification of tribes with mixed-type operations; Foster and/or strengthen an integrated working relationship between the Federally-Recognized Tribes Extension Program extension educators, 1994 tribal land-grant colleges and universities, FDA and other partners including the FSMA Alliances (Produce Safety Alliance, Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance and Sprout Safety Alliances), the FDA National Coordination Center and FDA/USDA Regional Centers established under the “National Food Safety Training, Education, Extension, Outreach and Technical Assistance Program;" Identify and provide contacts for future tribal food safety engagement as applicable to this cooperative agreement and subsequent related activity; Identify and characterize existing education and training programs within federally recognized tribes related to on-farm produce and food manufacturing/processing safety; Identify and conduct outreach opportunities relative to these overall priorities so that tribal member produce growers and food manufacturers/processors are aware of the availability of training, educational materials and technical assistance opportunities; Work collaboratively to foster an integrated working relationship with the various FSMA alliances (Produce Safety Alliance, Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance and Sprouts Safety Alliance). Evaluate the training curricula and delivery to ensure that the target audience is provided with adequate information to increase understanding of the requirements of the Produce Safety and Preventive Controls for Human Food rules. Other Requirements Demonstrate the ability to develop and provide a range of educational tools for tribal stakeholders relative to FSMA regulations, especially the Produce Safety rule and Preventive Controls for Human Food rule, for federally recognized tribes. Demonstrate the ability to engage with and work collaboratively with national and regional Native American organization leaders (individuals and organizations), Native American colleges and universities as well as other national organizations, land grant university extension programs, the established FSMA Alliances as well as the National Coordination and Regional Centers in order to leverage and advance understanding of the FSMA requirements among the target audience. Demonstrate the ability to extensively cooperate and coordinate with FDA CFSAN and other FDA program offices, and FDA’s FSMA partners at USDA in order to further enhance an integrated food safety system. Demonstrate the availability of adequately trained personnel that will be providing training, education and outreach to tribal stakeholders. Communicate the criteria and ability to hire and/or train personnel to meet the deliverables of the cooperative agreement. Provide a properly detailed budget (one for each of the 3 years) that is intended to advance the training and education program, outreach including identification of technical assistance resources, to advance understanding of the Produce Safety and Preventive Controls for Human Food rules. Demonstrate the ability to satisfy the reporting requirements outlined in section VI.3 of this announcement. Provide justification for hiring new staff, including qualifications, and training needs. Applications demonstrating an ability to sustain the progress made beyond the duration of this cooperative agreement are encouraged.
