Project Abstract - IICA With this current proposal, the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) seeks to build on previous successes and implement high-impact interventions that directly reduce risks associated with importing food into the United States. Specifically, we propose to develop and test alternative technologies to greatly augment the availability of high-quality training opportunities using the existing Produce Safety Alliance (PSA) curriculum and other training materials, such as the On-Farm Readiness Review (OFRR), in support of the FSMA Produce Safety Rule (PSR). We will leverage the wide availability of mobile telephones throughout the Americas and develop web- and application-based training materials that not only incorporate requisite training per the curriculum but also provide easy links to relevant portions of the rule and other important documents so that the user can refresh their knowledge as needed. While a variety of training materials are available in English, we propose to strengthen the reach and impact of existing and new materials by making them available in Spanish as well. This approach will take advantage of the prevalence of access to mobile technology throughout the Americas to create a group of tools that address the needs of adult learners and non-traditional students. We will use well-tested approaches and learning techniques to ensure sustainable knowledge building and understanding around FSMA implementation. Working with partners in academia, we will design controlled experiments to test the efficacy of alternative training materials against in-person training techniques to better understand what is and what may be possible to achieve through alternative approaches. Using an iterative process, we will develop alternative training materials, package them into new delivery methods, and test and validated both the materials and delivery approaches through pilot projects. Based on the results of these pilot projects, we will modify and further test our approaches, with the goal of releasing final, validated products to a large, hemispheric audience. These “final” products will then be evaluated over the life of the project to ensure their continued efficacy and provide inputs for corrective actions. IICA is the specialized agency for agriculture within the Inter-American System. Counting on over seventy-five years of experience and a network of over thirty offices across the Americas, IICA is an ideal partner to support FDA to address technical capacity needs around FSMA implementation by foreign governments and their industries in Latin America. IICA is and has been a strong U.S. government partner in Latin America and the Caribbean for many years and has the demonstrated capacity to implement FSMA training in the region.

项目摘要- IICA 美洲农业合作研究所（农合所）根据目前的建议， 在以往成功的基础上，实施直接降低风险的高效干预措施 与进口食品到美国有关。具体来说，我们建议开发和测试 替代技术，以大大增加高质量的培训机会， 现有的生产安全联盟（PSA）课程和其他培训材料，如 准备审查（OFRR），以支持FSMA生产安全规则（PSR）。我们将利用广泛的 在整个美洲提供移动的电话，并开发基于网络和应用程序的 培训材料，不仅包括必要的培训课程，但也提供容易 链接到规则的相关部分和其他重要文档，以便用户可以刷新 所需的知识。虽然有各种英文培训材料，但我们建议 加强现有材料和新材料的覆盖面和影响力， 好.这一办法将利用全世界普遍使用移动的技术的机会， 美洲创建一组工具，以满足成人学习者和非传统学习者的需要， 学生我们将使用久经考验的方法和学习技巧，以确保可持续的知识 围绕FSMA实施进行构建和理解。 与学术界的合作伙伴合作，我们将设计对照实验来测试 替代培训材料与面对面培训技术，以更好地了解 通过替代方法可能实现的目标。使用迭代过程，我们将 开发替代培训材料，将其包装成新的交付方法，并进行测试和验证 通过试点项目提供材料和交付方法。根据这些试点的结果 项目，我们将修改和进一步测试我们的方法，目标是发布最终的，验证的， 产品给一个大的，半球观众。然后将在整个生命周期内对这些“最终”产品进行评估 该项目旨在确保其持续有效性，并为纠正行动提供投入。 农合所是美洲体系内的农业专门机构。指望着 IICA拥有75年的经验和遍布美洲的30多个办事处网络，是一个理想的 合作伙伴支持FDA解决外国公司实施FSMA的技术能力需求 拉丁美洲的政府及其产业。IICA是一个强大的美国政府， 作为拉丁美洲和加勒比地区多年的合作伙伴， 在该地区开展FSMA培训。
