FARAD
10.518
The purpose of the FARAD is to provide livestock producers, extension specialists, scientists, and veterinarians with up to date information to prevent drug, pesticide and environmental contaminant residues in food animal products. Collaboration between all institutions occurs on research projects that are necessary to validate the FARAD withdrawal interval estimates.
This chart shows obligations for the program by fiscal year. All data for this chart was provided by the
administering agency and sourced from SAM.gov, USASpending.gov, and Treasury.gov.

SPECIAL NOTE: See Assistance Listing # 10.500 (R) for pertinent details.
This represents a newly created Assistance Listing (CFDA) number, which was part of an initiative to break out the separate programs formerly contained in CFDA # 10.500 – Cooperative Extension Service (CES).
For the Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 award cycle, Congress appropriated $2.5 million and $2.4 million was available to support FARAD, which was funded under its own line item authority.
Five (5) applications are being reviewed and evaluated under competition waiver administrative processes. FARAD applications are merit-reviewed internally by National Program Staff and all five (5) entities will be funded. This is the second year that this program will have five participating institutions.
This 33-year-old high performing integrated consortium of collaborating institutions currently includes at each Land Grant campus a lead Project Director (PD), and his/her respective scientific staff.
The funding ratio for this program in FY 2018 will be 100% due to the competition waiver process.
FARAD is a university-based national program that serves as the nation’s primary source for scientifically-based recommendations regarding safe withdrawal intervals of drugs (used off label) and chemicals in food-producing animals. As such, FARAD is a key resource for protection of our nation’s food supply, including meat, milk and eggs, against accidental contamination of animal-derived foods with residues of drugs, pesticides or other agents that could compromise food safety.
No major shifts of responsibilities among the five (5) collaborating Universities is projected. Each network node is expected to continue to effectively accomplish its site-specific scientific and communication tasks and provide 24/7 expert-mediated hotline and internet-accessible data and services in support of the overall integrated network mission.
NIFA received 5 applications and made 5 awards for FARAD funding.
