2000 WIC Special Project Grants
In FY 2000, the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) awarded grants
to 6 state agencies to support Special Projects Grants. The money
was divided between two sets of projects: 1) full grant awards for
three years; and 2) one year concept paper awards to enable states
to develop promising concepts into viable grant proposals in the
following year. In consultation with the National Association of WIC
Directors (NAWD) and State Agencies, FNS adopted a new focus area
for Special Projects: "Revitalizing Quality Nutrition Services
– RQNS".
1) WIC RQNS Special Projects
The FY 2000 WIC Special Projects are three-year projects that
look at ways to revitalize quality nutrition services at the State
Agency level. Participants focus on issues such as nutrition
education, parenting skills, and staff training at the State and
local level. The State Agencies that received FY 2000 funds and
their areas of study are as follows:
