ACTION:  Award announcement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a noncompetitive grand award is 
being made to the National Association of Farmers' Market Nutrition 
Programs to initiate a Nationwide Farmers' Market Connections Campaign 
to serve low-income communities, limited resource farmers, and low-
income women and children who participate in the WIC Program.
    This one-year project is being funded noncompetitively because it 
is expected to provide valuable information useful to this Department 
and other practitioners regarding research and demonstration 
initiatives related to welfare reform and the well being of low-income 
children and families. The nationwide campaign will be piloted in four 
states, and will promote the development and coordination of farmers' 
markets and marketing services among federal, state and local agencies. 
The cost of the project is $33,000 for one year.
