Flexible Funding Model Infrastructure Development & Maintenance

项目摘要/摘要 印第安纳州卫生部食品保护计划寻求这笔资金 有机会继续开展加工食品监管计划标准方面的工作 (MFRPS)、快速反应小组(RRT)和食品保护特别工作组(FPTF)。这些 倡议促进了高质量食品监管计划的发展，其中包括 衡量和改进预防、干预和管理绩效的统一基础 响应活动。与这些计划的一致性使计划能够专注于风险和 预防，而不是事件和反应，确保计划的一致性，并促进 持续的质量保证和改进努力。这些倡议还促进了一个全国性的 食品安全现代化法案规定的综合食品安全体系(IFSS) (FSMA)。 ISDH食品保护计划已经实施了MFRPS，但已经确定这一点 质量改进体系还没有完全融入计划的文化中。这个 计划必须找到更可持续的方法来遵守和维护这些标准。一个 印第安纳州资助的RRT已经建立了两年，该计划期待着 更全面地发展和维持印第安纳州的RRT。印第安纳州食品安全与防务 工作队于2003年以另一个名称成立，并通过扩大范围继续取得进展 展望和加强伙伴关系。 印第安纳州卫生部的使命是促进和提供必要的 公共卫生服务；愿景是一个更健康、更安全的印第安纳州。该机构通过以下方式做到这一点 实验室、流行病学和食品保护专业人员。这一融资机会将有助于 ISDH食品保护计划机构加强该机构和国家的能力，以 通过评估、政策和政策预防、调查和缓解食品和饲料紧急情况 发展、质量保证和培训/教育活动。它还提供了 有能力更好地指导食品安全和监管活动，以减少食源性疾病 危险。最后，IFSS代表了联邦、州、地方 领土和部落机构，以实现更安全的粮食供应。而ISDH食品保护机构 该方案已经建立了许多必要的合作伙伴关系，仍有改进的空间。

Project Summary/Abstract The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) Food Protection Program pursues this funding opportunity to continue its work on the Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS), Rapid Response Team (RRT), and Food Protection Task Force (FPTF). These initiatives promote the development of a high-quality food regulatory program which includes a uniform basis for measuring and improving the performance of prevention, intervention, and response activities. Conformance with these initiatives allow the program to focus on risk and prevention, rather than event and reaction, and ensures program consistency, and promotes continuous quality assurance and improvement efforts. These initiatives also promote a national Integrated Food Safety System (IFSS) which is mandated by the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). The ISDH Food Protection Program has implemented MFRPS, but has determined that this quality improvement system has not been fully integrated into the program's culture. The program must find more sustainable methods to conform to and maintain these standards. A funded RRT in Indiana has been established for two years, and the program looks forward to more fully developing and sustaining Indiana's RRT. The Indiana Food Safety and Defense Task Force began under another name in 2003, and continues to advance by broadening outlooks and strengthening partnerships. The mission of the Indiana State Department of Health is to promote and provide essential public health services; the vision is a healthier and safer Indiana. The agency does so with laboratory, epidemiology, and food protection professionals. This funding opportunity will aid the ISDH Food Protection Program agency in strengthening the agency's and state's capability to prevent, investigate, and mitigate food and feed emergencies through assessment, policy development, and quality assurance, and training/educational activities. It also provides the capability to better direct food safety and regulatory activities to reduce foodborne illness hazards. Finally, an IFSS represents a seamless partnership among federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal agencies to achieve a safer food supply. While the ISDH Food Protection Program has established many necessary partnerships, there is still room for improvement.
