Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA FNS FDD FDPNE FY19

USDA-FNS-FDD-FDPNE-FY19 is a discretionary grant opportunity from the USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) designed to fund nutrition education efforts connected to the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR). The program has been issuing Food Distribution Program Nutrition Education (FDPNE) grants annually since 2008, and the FY 2019 competition continues that focus by supporting projects that deliver practical nutrition information, education, and related services directly to people who participate in FDPIR.

Only certain organizations can apply. Eligibility is limited to Indian Tribal Organizations (ITOs) and State Agencies (SAs) that are current FDPIR allowance holders, meaning they have a direct agreement with FNS to administer FDPIR. Applicants can apply on their own or as part of a consortium, such as a regional partnership or nutrition advisory council. When applying as a consortium, one eligible ITO must be named as the lead agency and must submit the application on behalf of all partners. That lead agency is responsible for the project overall, including fiscal management and day-to-day operations, which is important for accountability and compliance.

Project expectations are anchored in established federal guidance rather than being invented from scratch. FDPNE project requirements for FY 2019 are based on selected components of the FY 2019 SNAP Education (SNAP-Ed) Plan Guidance, which frames allowable and recommended approaches for nutrition education, gardening activities, and physical activity promotion. Project goals are also aligned with selected elements of the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which provide the federal government’s core recommendations on healthy eating patterns and nutrition priorities. In practical terms, applicants are expected to propose interventions and educational strategies that reflect those evidence-informed frameworks and that fit the needs of FDPIR participants.

From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a grant (not a contract) under the Food and Nutrition funding activity category, listed under CFDA 10.594. The opportunity was posted with a creation date of March 1, 2019, and an application closing date of April 30, 2019. The listed award ceiling is $220,000, indicating the maximum amount that could be awarded per grant under this announcement. The administering agency is the USDA Food and Nutrition Service, and the eligible applicant categories emphasize tribal governments and tribal organizations, along with other eligible entities only to the extent they meet the FDPIR allowance-holder requirement.

Overall, the opportunity is meant to strengthen nutrition education capacity within FDPIR-serving tribal and state administering agencies, using nationally recognized nutrition and health guidance to shape culturally appropriate, community-relevant education and activities for FDPIR participants.
