Act of 1998 (FAIR Act) (Pub. L. 105-270), and the Agricultural,

results: (A) adult program participants, their family structure and 
dietary practices; (B) youth group participants; and (C) staff; and (2) 
programmatic plans (D) annual budget; and (E) annual program plans. 
NIFA would be unable to compare, assess, and analyze the effectiveness
