About this program
The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) funds researcher-initiated projects under CFDA 10.586 to develop and evaluate innovative nutrition education approaches for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), with the most recent grant opportunity posted March 1, 2012.
The program supports two primary funding tracks. The WIC Periconceptional Grant establishes a university-based grant series to demonstrate creative approaches for evaluating WIC's impacts on periconceptional nutrition—the critical period immediately before conception through the first weeks following conception when maternal nutrition directly influences placental and embryonic development with lifelong health implications. Grantees coordinate among researchers, use technology and digital media to achieve desired outcomes, employ a common approach to reporting findings to enable meta-analysis, and disseminate results widely. The WIC Nutrition Education Innovations Grant similarly targets the identification, development, evaluation, and dissemination of innovative nutrition education interventions for WIC participants.
FNS enters into grants and cooperative agreements with states, local governments, universities, hospitals, and nonprofit organizations. Grantees work cooperatively with FNS to support researcher-initiated projects, coordinate activities across the research portfolio, and advance communication and coordination to improve target behaviors among WIC participants.
The most recent grant opportunity on file—USDA-FNS-WIC-NEI-FY2012, posted March 1, 2012, with a due date of May 25, 2012—solicited a Cooperative Agreement valued at approximately $2 million to establish the USDA Center for WIC Nutrition Education Innovations. Eligibility was restricted to accredited colleges and universities offering advanced degrees at the PhD level in biological and social sciences, including sociology, psychology, education, nutrition, public health, and economics. The selected recipient would serve as the administrative center, develop and manage a series of researcher-initiated grants, coordinate research activities, and disseminate findings.
No recent grant awards or opportunities after 2012 are present in the source material.
Objective and description
- Objective
These awards enable Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) to enter into grants and cooperative agreements with States and local governments, universities, hospitals and non-profit organizations to identify, develop, and undertake projects to meet FNS program needs and the food, nutrition, and health of program eligible participants. The grantees and recipients are expected to work cooperatively with FNS to: - Support researcher-initiated projects that use a common approach to reporting findings to ensure transparency and facilitate a meta-analysis of all projects; - Coordinate activities among researchers; - Effectively use technology and digital media to achieve desired outcomes; and - Advance communication and coordination to improve target behaviors. The grants and cooperative agreements plan to enable FNS to be more responsive to program needs and the food, nutrition, and health needs of FNS program participants. The objective of the WIC Periconceptional Grant is to establish a university-based grant series for researcher-initiated projects to demonstrate creative approaches to evaluate the impacts of WIC on periconceptional nutrition. FNS focus for this project is the direct and indirect effects of WIC participation by one or more family members during the periconceptional period and the implications for service delivery. During the periconceptional period, the time period immediately prior to conception and in the first few days and weeks following conception, nutrition can impact placental and embryonic development with critical lifelong implications. This project supports a university-based grant series for researcher-initiated projects to demonstrate creative approaches to evaluate WIC impacts on periconceptional nutrition, coordinate activities among researchers, and widely disseminate findings from current research. The WIC Nutrition Educations Innovations' Grant's objective is to enhance the effort to identify, develop, evaluate, and disseminate innovative and effective WIC nutrition education interventions. This is to be accomplished by providing grant funding for a university-based center with this charge, including a program of sub-grants to support development and evaluation of WIC-focused researcher-initiated innovations from researchers across the nation.
