OP will often advertise a Course Announcement and will recruit State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial officials, accordingly. Unfortunately, space is limited throughout these courses and not every applicant will receive a seat in a course. Below are several ways in which individuals can obtain seats in courses.</p> <ol> <li> <h4>Preregistration (For select Manufactured Food, Veterinary Medicine, Produce, and Emergency Response courses):</h4> STCS has a preregistration window in the fall of every year in which participating state and local agencies receive a Preregistration Workbook (PRW). This PRW contains registration data for all scheduled courses for the following fiscal year training cycle. If a participating agency submits a PRW by the deadline, STCS will consider all requests received for preregistration; however, preregistered requests do not guarantee an agency a seat in a desired course.</li> <li> <h4>Wait Listing:</h4> If the preregistration window has passed, participating agencies may still obtain additional seats by submitting an email requesting individuals be placed on ODP's Waitlist. All Waitlist requests should be submitted to<span> </span><a>Mailboxstatetraining@fda.hhs.gov</a>. Agencies will be notified if a seat becomes available for a desired course. </li> <li> <h4>Limited Seating Announcement:</h4> Periodically an FDA training opportunity will have a surplus of unfilled seats. When this occurs, STCS sends a Limited Seating Announcement email to participating agencies. Seats may then be requested for this specific course.</li> </ol> <p><em><strong>Notification of Upcoming Trainings</strong></em></p> <p>STCS maintains various contact lists organized by commodity. These lists are used to notify government agencies regarding training. Only two points of contact per agency, per commodity, are allowed. To request to be added to a contact list, please send an inquiry to<span> <a href="//StateTraining@fda.hhs.gov">S</a></span><a href="//StateTraining@fda.hhs.gov">tateTraining@fda.hhs.gov</a>.</p> <p><em><strong>Questions about Course Content</strong></em></p> <p><span>STCS only coordinates registration of state and local employees to FDA trainings. If you have a specific question about course content or logistical information such as hotel or special needs accommodation, please contact the OTED course instructor listed in the Course Announcement. You may also search for instructors and for courses by visiting<span> </span></span>OTED's <a href="https://fdaoted.csod.com">ORA LearnED Training System.</a></p> <p><em><strong>Reimbursement for Travel Expenses</strong></em></p> <p>The funding agreement type will dictate the approval process for use of FDA funding to attend various training opportunities. If your state, local, tribal, or territorial government agency is utilizing funding under an FDA grant or cooperative agreement, then your agency may utilize the expedited funding approval process. Once your agency has received a seat confirmation, please turn in the expedited Cost Estimate Form for each person attending the FDA training from your agency. Cost Estimate Forms may be turned into<span> <a href="//StateTraining@fda.hhs.gov">S</a></span><a href="//StateTraining@fda.hhs.gov">tateTraining@fda.hhs.gov</a>. The approval process may take up to 5 business days. </p> <br> <br> </div> <aside class="col-md-2 col-md-push-2" role="complementary"> <section id="block-entityviewcontent-4"
