The National Institute of Nursing Research awarded $595,958 to Regents of the University of Minnesota on August 27, 2026, under the Nursing Research program (CFDA 93.361) to evaluate the impact of a food prescription program on health outcomes in dually-eligible older adults. The award funds a natural experiment evaluating FarmboxRx, a nonprofit health plan benefit launched in 2022 that provides two boxes of fresh produce monthly to low-income older adults eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid with one or more chronic conditions. The research will leverage electronic health record data for approximately 3,117 patients—those eligible for FarmboxRx and a control group of dually-eligible older adults whose health plans do not offer the program—to assess program impact on blood pressure, blood lipids, hemoglobin A1C, depression, and body mass index at the population level. The study addresses methodological limitations in existing food prescription program effectiveness research and tests whether this embedded insurance benefit model improves sustainability and reach compared to traditional program designs. Performance occurs in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with a period of performance through June 30, 2030. This is a Project Grant, the standard research mechanism under the Nursing Research program for investigator-initiated science.
