NEHA-FDA RFFM Grant Program
The 乐播传媒 (NEHA) and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) work in partnership to administer the NEHA-FDA Retail Flexible Funding Model (RFFM) Grant Program. The program provides funding to State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial (SLTT) retail food regulatory agencies as they advance conformance with the Voluntary National Retail Food Regulatory Program Standards (Retail Program Standards). FDA is utilizing NEHA鈥檚 strengths to assist SLTT retail food programs in their efforts to reduce the occurrence of foodborne illness risk factors and implement and attain conformance with the Retail Program Standards.
From the Grant Portal, registered users and current grantees can:
- View and print granted and declined applications
- View and print official NEHA-FDA RFFM Grant Program Award Letters
- Access required reports and due dates, complete reports, and request payments
CY2025 Applications Are Currently Under Review
The NEHA-FDA RFFM Grant Portal was open for CY 2025 grant applications from October 1 鈥� November 20, 2024. We are pleased to announce that a historic number of applications and funding were requested for CY 2025!
CY 2025 applications, including applications for 3-year grants covering CY 2025-2027, are currently under review. Award decisions are expected to be announced in January 2025.
Payments and Reporting for Current Grantees
All reporting for CY 2024 grants is due February 13, 2025. For CY 2024, the Final Reimbursement Request (as used in CY 2022 and CY 2023) and Final Progress Report have been combined into one comprehensive and grant-type specific Final Progress Report. Therefore, all expense reporting, as well as reporting on deliverables met, will be completed through a single Final Progress Report.
Submit Early, Get Paid Fast
For current grantees Final Progress Reports, which now include a final Payment Request, are available in the Grant Portal. We encourage you to submit your Final Progress Report(s) as soon as your project(s) is completed to expedite the reimbursement process.
Advance Payments are still an option for all grant types. Please reach out to the NEHA-FDA RFFM Grant Program Support Team to request an advance payment.
