2007 Training Grant Application
Up to $4 million is anticipated in Fiscal Year 2007 for TN Training Grants, contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds. The funding period will be from September 30, 2007, through September 30, 2009. The maximum amount of funding awarded to an individual State or a coalition within a State will be $200,000; up to $350,000 for a coalition of two or more different States.
State agencies (SA) that administer the National School Lunch Program and/or the Child and Adult Care Food Program are eligible to apply for a TN Training Grant. Each State may submit only one application on behalf of all interested Child Nutrition State agencies within that State. States may apply individually, as a coalition within a State, or may establish a network and apply as a coalition of States.
Please be aware of the following features in this year's Request for Applications (RFA):
- Novice Applicants: While this competition is open to all SAs administering Child Nutrition Programs, a Novice Applicant category is being added. Novice applicants are those SAs that have not received a grant within the past three fiscal years. Please refer to the description of the applicant categories on Page 4 of the RFA.
- Grantee Meeting: All applicants must include in their budget the costs for two key project staff to attend one (2-day) grantee meeting in Alexandria, VA, during the grant period.
- Tips for Application: This feature has been added to assist SAs in preparing and submitting the application.
