Opportunity Summary:
The USDA Economic Research Service (ERS) Food Assistance and Nutrition Research Program (FANRP) FY 2010 funding opportunity invited research proposals focused on improving understanding of, and generating evidence for, USDA domestic food assistance and nutrition programs. The program offered support through either grants or cooperative agreements, with an emphasis on policy-relevant research that can inform program design, implementation, and evaluation in areas tied directly to food security and nutrition outcomes.
ERS identified three main priority research areas for this competition. The first, Food Assistance and Children s Well Being, centered on how participation in food assistance programs relates to children s health, development, educational outcomes, and overall household well being. The second priority, Interactions Between the Built Environment and Food Assistance Programs, focused on how local conditions such as neighborhood food retail options, transportation access, and community infrastructure shape program access, use, and effectiveness. The third priority area, Using Behavioral Economics and Incentives To Promote Child Nutrition, sought studies that apply behavioral economics tools such as choice architecture, defaults, messaging, and incentives to encourage healthier eating patterns among children, particularly in contexts connected to USDA nutrition programs.
Funding was available for projects ranging from $100,000 to $400,000 total, inclusive of indirect costs when applicable, for the full project period. Projects could run up to three years, and the overall pool of funds available for this competition was estimated at roughly $2.2 to $2.7 million. ERS anticipated making about 15 awards. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which meant applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity was open to any type of applicant organization, subject to any clarifications that might have appeared in the full announcement. The opportunity was categorized as discretionary funding and fell under activity areas including agriculture, food and nutrition, and income security and social services. The CFDA listing associated with this announcement was 10.253, Consumer Data and Nutrition Research, which signals that the work supported is intended to strengthen the evidence base USDA relies on for food and nutrition policy.
The application timeline was straightforward. The opportunity was posted on February 12, 2010, and the proposal submission deadline (closing date) was April 12, 2010. The archive date was May 12, 2010, indicating when the opportunity would be removed from active listings after the deadline passed. Applicants looking for complete details were directed to download the full announcement from ERS, which typically contains the formal scope, submission instructions, required proposal components, review criteria, and any formatting or administrative requirements.
