About this file
The provided document is a Suggested Budget/Budget Narrative Template for a federal grant opportunity. It outlines the required budget categories and provides instructions on how to calculate the costs for each category, including personnel, fringe benefits, travel, supplies, contractual, and other expenses. The template also includes guidance on formatting the budget table and narrative.
The related federal grant opportunity is the FY 2024 Team Nutrition Training Grants for Meal Pattern Modernization and Retention and Mentorship Opportunities, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service. The grant aims to help state agencies build capacity for implementing the updated meal pattern requirements and address the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on school meal programs, such as labor shortages and staff turnover. The grant activities will provide technical assistance, coaching, and mentoring to school nutrition professionals to improve the nutritional quality of school meals, meet meal pattern requirements, and build a skilled workforce.
