National Research Initiative: Food Safety Coordinated Agricultural Project
This new program emphasis may support one proposal for the establishment of an epidemiology and microbiology research unit for food safety that will conduct collaborative and interactive, multi-faceted epidemiologic food safety research, primarily in the preharvest area. In subsequent years, the FS-CAP may be focused on one or more specialized areas of food safety. One award may be given to a team of epidemiologists and microbiologists that could collectively identify priority food safety problems to be solved by a multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional, and multi-state team of experts. Unit participants would also serve as a strike team that would be able to conduct targeted research in response to an emerging or priority area. This research unit will contain expertise in epidemiology, microbiology, food safety, public health, economic and other identified needs and will also contain experts in prevalent food borne pathogens and important food animal species. This program was last offered in fiscal year 2004.
