About this program
The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service administers CFDA 10.593, the Bill Emerson National Hunger Fellows and Mickey Leland International Hunger Fellows Programs, under an annual congressional earmark to a single entity with a 12-month grant period. The program funds fellowship training and leadership development for individuals working to end hunger domestically and internationally, with fellows completing both direct-service placements at community-based organizations and policy-development placements in governmental or nonprofit entities.
This program operates as a non-competitive grant award directed by authorizing legislation to the Congressional Hunger Center, the sole grantee, which administers both fellowship tracks. Each cohort comprises twelve to fifteen fellows who receive training and field experience designed to develop skills in humanitarian service delivery and policy advocacy. The fellowship combines hands-on training with community-based host organizations alongside experience in policy development, positioning fellows to work on hunger and poverty reduction across both the nonprofit and government sectors.
The source material reflects no recent grant awards or opportunities. The most recent solicitation on file (solicitation number 01-10593, posted November 19, 2015, with a September 30, 2016 due date) is now substantially outdated. No current application deadlines, award data from recent fiscal years, funding levels, or active opportunities appear in the available source documentation.
Because this program operates as an annual congressional earmark to a single specified recipient—the Congressional Hunger Center—the typical grant-application pathway does not apply. Applicants other than the designated grantee cannot pursue funding through this Assistance Listing. Organizations interested in participating would need to work through the Congressional Hunger Center as a host site or partner, not as direct applicants to USDA. Organizations seeking to apply should verify current funding status and grantee designation through USDA Food and Nutrition Service before investing in pursuit.
