Synopsis
The Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 (P.L. 108-265) amended Section 22 of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (NSLA) to establish a requirement that State agencies (SAs) conduct additional administrative reviews of selected school food authorities (SFAs). It also amended Section 7 of the Child Nutrition Act to provide funding for States to be used for administrative reviews and training of SFAs. Both of these requirements are focused on SFAs which have demonstrated a high level of, or a high risk for, administrative error. To assist SAs (State Agencies) in achieving these requirements, the USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) has approximately $8 million available in fiscal year (FY) 2011 to fund Method II Administrative Reviews and Training (ART) Grants for training and oversight. The grant funds will be available only to the 57 SAs that administer the Child Nutrition Programs, and are for the purpose of identifying, reviewing, monitoring and training local educational agencies that have demonstrated a high level of, or a high risk for, administrative error. FNS will make the funds available on a competitive basis. States may apply for a Planning grant or an Implementation grant, as described in Section IV, ART Method II Grant Types, in this Request for Applications (RFA). The FY 2011 ART Method II Grant award process involves two types of awards: • ART Method II Planning Grants; and • ART Method II Implementation Grants SAs may apply for either type of grant, but not for both. Only one grant application will be accepted from an SA in response to this solicitation.
