Opportunity Summary:
The USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) WIC Research Grants FY2011 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: USDA FNS WIC FY2011) was a discretionary grant program offered through cooperative agreements to support research tied to the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC). Rather than funding a single, predefined study, the goal of this solicitation was to select an eligible institution or organization, such as an accredited university, to serve as a central hub for a specific research area. That selected institution would then develop and administer a series of researcher-initiated sub-grants related to that research area, coordinate work across multiple researchers, and ensure that findings were broadly shared with relevant audiences.
A key feature of the announcement was that it covered three separate research areas. Applicants were allowed to apply for one or more of those areas, but they had to submit a separate application for each research area they wanted to lead. In practical terms, the awardee for a given area would be responsible not only for supporting individual research projects through sub-awards, but also for managing the overall research portfolio: organizing collaboration and communication among investigators, maintaining consistency and quality across projects, and actively disseminating results so the work could inform WIC practice, policy, and nutrition education strategies.
The program was categorized under Food and Nutrition and tied to CFDA 10.586, which relates to WIC Nutrition Education Innovations. The anticipated scale of the program was substantial, with an expected 30 awards overall. Total estimated funding was approximately $3,250,000, with individual award amounts ranging from a floor of $250,000 to a ceiling of $2,000,000. No cost sharing or matching was required, which meant applicants were not obligated to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was limited to private institutions of higher education, reinforcing the intent to place administration of these research portfolios within organizations that typically have the research infrastructure, grants management capacity, and dissemination channels needed to run a competitive grants program. The posting date for the opportunity was June 9, 2011, with an application deadline of July 25, 2011, and the opportunity was later archived on August 24, 2011.
For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Leslie DavisByrd, Grants Officer, reachable by phone at 703-305-2867.
