Attachment B Project Timeline.docx

This document is an Attachment B Project Timeline for the FY 2024 Team Nutrition Training Grants for Meal Pattern Modernization and Retention and Mentorship Opportunities. The grant is funded by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service under the Team Nutrition Grants program (CFDA 10.574). It requires applicants to provide a timeline showing the dates and persons responsible for the key activities listed in the Request for Applications (RFA), such as planning, hiring, activities, data collection, evaluation, and reporting. The timeline should be submitted as a separate attachment via Grants.gov. The grant opportunity is open to State Governments and aims to help state agencies build capacity for implementing the Final Rule on meal pattern requirements and address staff retention issues in school meal programs due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The grant activities will focus on providing technical assistance, coaching, and mentoring to School Nutrition Professionals to improve the nutritional quality of school meals, meet meal pattern requirements, implement scratch cooking techniques, and build a skilled labor force.
