[Program Announcement No. OCS-2002-17]


Grant to the Community Nutrition Institute

AGENCY: Office of Community Services (OCS), Administration for Children 
and Families (ACF), Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).

ACTION: Award announcement.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a noncompetitive grant award is 
being made to the Community Nutrition Institute to support a nationwide 
initiative for the Community Food and Nutrition Program (CFNP). The 
nationwide initiative is a national research project to study the 
impact of current CFNP projects on low-income communities, families, 
and children nationwide. The results of the study will enable OCS to 
improve the quality of service provided to the network of CFNP 
grantees, and to assess the program's impact on improving the health 
and nutritional well-being of low-income families, children and 
individuals nationwide.
    The CFNP legislation requires that the Department fund a Nationwide 
Program for Fiscal Year 2002. Pub. L. 97-35 as amended by Pub. L. 105-
285 at section 681(b)(2)(C) states that ``* * * The Secretary shall * * 
* make grants * * * on a competitive bases * * * for nationwide 
programs. * * * '' Since the Department did not receive any 
applications in response to our CFNP Nationwide Program Announcement, 
this project is being funded noncompetitively. 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. This is a three-year project. The cost of the project is 
$300,000 for the first year.
