clause text

Competition will be limited to non-profit national organizations affiliated with one or more institutions of higher learning whose membership includes state, local, tribal and territorial regulatory personnel whose primary duties include retail food safety, as explicitly permitted by the grant-making provisions of FSMA (21 USC 399). These organizations are well situated to assist FDA in leveraging state and local jurisdictions to advance retail food protection and reduce the national burden of foodborne illness and injury.

What comparable notices state

70 recordsStated ceilings on open records in the same industry.

Among open records stored under Agriculture, 70 of 86 state an award ceiling. Those that do run:

  • 25th percentile$308,125
  • Median$950,000
  • 75th percentile$2,091,313

A statistical estimate, not a prediction. It describes what a set of notices has published in this catalogue on the day you read it, and says nothing about what this programme will award. Records stating no ceiling are excluded rather than counted as zero, and the programme pool — what a funder has across every applicant — is a different column and is never mixed in.
