The Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded the University of Florida $2,371,543 through the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (CFDA 10.514) on October 1, 2025, for a five-year period ending September 30, 2030.

The University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research, operating as the prime recipient, delivers nutrition education programming through the UF/IFAS Extension in Escambia, Hillsborough, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties. The adult program uses two curricula—Eating Smart, Being Active and Families Eating Smart and Moving More—structured as 6- to 12-lesson sequences grounded in social cognitive theory and addressing food resource management, food safety, diet quality, physical activity, and food security. The youth program delivers two evidence-based curricula: Youth Understanding MyPlate (YUM) for grades K–5, which uses 30-minute experiential learning sessions to teach MyPlate concepts and physical activity, and Teen Cuisine for grades 6–12, which builds nutrition knowledge, cooking skills, and food safety awareness. Both curricula are regularly reviewed for alignment with current dietary guidelines and school standards. All programming is based on the 2020–2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.

Place of performance is Gainesville, Florida. This is a formula grant supporting EFNEP's mission to increase nutrition education impact for low-income families and youth.
