Healthy
Incentives Pilot (HIP) - TimelineHIP is a
complex undertaking. To be successful, FNS must be informed of and
consider the many design, implementation and evaluation options
available for HIP from the beginning. Determining the targeted
foods, the form of the incentive and the impact measures are just a
few of the topics that must be carefully considered. Accordingly,
FNS has established a timeline for the project that allows for
careful consideration of all options at each phase and time to plan
for both the implementation and the evaluation from the beginning.
