Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "USDA FNS USP FY 2016" (Funding Opportunity Number: 2016 7) was issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), and is categorized under the broad area of Food and Nutrition. The listing is associated with CFDA number 10.587, which corresponds to the National Food Service Management Institute Administration and Staffing Grant. While the public-facing record does not provide a narrative description of the purpose, activities, or program goals (the description field is listed as not available), the CFDA association suggests the opportunity is connected to administrative and staffing support functions tied to food service management and nutrition program operations, typically in contexts such as child nutrition or institutional food service systems supported by USDA programs.
From a funding structure standpoint, the opportunity is labeled under "Other" for both Opportunity Category and Funding Instrument Type, which usually signals that it may not fit cleanly into standard grant classifications in the database entry, or that the posting functions as a general or umbrella notice rather than a conventional competitive grant announcement. The record indicates an expected total of seven awards. At the same time, the fields that normally communicate the size of the opportunity are populated with zeros, including Estimated Total Funding, Award Ceiling, Award Floor, and award limits. In practical terms, that generally means the posting record does not disclose funding amounts in this summary view, the amounts are determined elsewhere (such as in the full announcement), or the entry functions as an administrative placeholder where funding is allocated through internal processes or separate documentation rather than through a publicly itemized award range.
The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching, meaning applicants are not expected to provide non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility or award. The posted date and creation date are both August 20, 2015, and the original and current closing dates are both September 30, 2016, indicating the closing date was not extended or modified in the system record. The archive date is October 30, 2016, which reflects when the listing was moved to an archived status after the closing date passed.
Eligibility is not fully specified in the data provided. The Eligible Applicants field is broadly listed as "Others" with a note to consult an "Additional Information on Eligibility" text field, but the detailed eligibility explanation is not included here, and the EligibilityInformation field is shown as not available. This means the precise set of eligible entities (for example, universities, nonprofit organizations, state or local agencies, or other specialized institutions) cannot be confirmed from the excerpt alone and would normally require reviewing the full announcement package or contacting the agency. Similarly, there is no additional information link supplied in the record, and the core description is not provided, so key program details like allowable activities, performance expectations, reporting requirements, or evaluation criteria are not visible from the summary.
For applicants or interested parties who cannot access the complete announcement electronically, the contact information provided directs them to the USDA FNS Grants Office point of contact, listed as "GO, USDA FNS GO POIC." In effect, the listing communicates the basic administrative metadata (agency, timeline, CFDA association, expected number of awards, and match requirements) but omits the substantive program narrative and funding parameters, making the Grants Office the primary route to obtain authoritative details on scope, eligibility, and application instructions.
