The NEHA-FDA Retail Flexible Funding Model (RFFM) Mentorship Program is a national initiative coordinated through a partnership between the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), the National Environmental Health Association (NEHA), and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to strengthen retail food safety programs across the country.
Through peer-to-peer mentorship and hands-on technical assistance, the program connects state, local, territorial, and tribal (SLTT) jurisdictions working to advance the FDA Retail Program Standards. Together, participants exchange knowledge, build capacity, and drive meaningful improvements that protect public health and support strong, sustainable retail food safety systems nationwide.
