2008 Training Grant Application
Up to $4 million is anticipated in Fiscal Year 2008 for TN Training Grants, contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds. The funding period will be from September 30, 2008, through September 30, 2010. 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.
