The purpose of this FY 2017 Team Nutrition Training Grant is for state agencies to implement and evaluate nutrition education, training, and technical assistance activities to support implementation of USDA nutrition standards for meals and snacks offered through the child nutrition programs (e.g., NSLP, SBP and CACFP). States must apply Team Nutrition's three behavior-focused strategies in their proposals:
April 3, 2017 | Letter of Intent to Submit an Application due to FNS (Optional) |
May 22, 2017 | Applications due to Grants.gov |
September 2017 | Team Nutrition Training Grants awarded |
State agencies that administer the NSLP and/or the CACFP may apply. FNS reserves the right to award a FY 2017 TN Training Grant to any state agency that did not receive any Team Nutrition Training Grants in FY 2014, 2015 and 2016.
Up to $5.6 million is anticipated in FY 2017 for Team Nutrition Training Grants. Through a competitive grants process, Team Nutrition Training Grants will be funded for the period of Sept. 30, 2017 - Sept. 30, 2020. Up to $500,000 may be requested per state agency. The submission of an application does NOT guarantee funding.
Funding for approved TN Training Grants will be provided through the Grant Award/Letter of Credit process upon receipt of a properly executed Federal-State TN Training Grant Agreement and subject to availability of funding. All TN Training Grant funds must be obligated and all activities under the TN Training Grant must be completed by Sept. 30, 2020.

The completed application package must be uploaded on www.grants.gov at or before 11:59 PM Eastern Time on May 22, 2017.
FNS will not accept applications sent via U.S. Mail, e-mail, or fax.
