Cooperative Agreement to Support the World Health Organization (WHO) International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS): The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing its intent to accept and consider a single source application for the award of a cooperative agreement to the World Health Organization (WHO) to support the International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS). FDA anticipates providing $90,000 (direct and indirect costs) in fiscal year 2005 in support of this project. Subject to the availability of Federal funds and successful performance, two additional years of support up to $90,000 per year (direct and indirect costs) will be available. FDA will support the research covered by this notice under the authority of Section 301 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 241). FDAs research program is described in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance No. 93.103. Before entering into cooperative agreements, FDA carefully considers the benefits such agreements will provide to the public. The cooperative agreement ensures FDAs participation and leadership in important international risk assessment and standard setting activities for food ingredients, contaminants, and veterinary drug residues. The development of such international standards provides the public with greater assurance of the quality and safety of food sold in the United States.
