Opportunity Summary:
USDA FNS WICSPG FullMini FY2014 is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) under CFDA 10.578 (WIC Grants To States). The program is designed specifically for state governments and supports work connected to the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). FNS planned a total of about 15 awards under this announcement, combining both larger "Full" grants and smaller "Mini" grants, with an estimated total funding amount of roughly $2,000,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of receiving an award.
The opportunity was structured in two tiers. First, FNS anticipated making up to four Full Grants, each expected to fall in the range of $300,000 to $400,000, with the final amounts depending on the strength of applications and the budgets requested. These Full Grants were set up with a longer performance period, running from the award date through September 30, 2018. Even though the grant could remain active through 2018, the announcement notes that all major project activities had to be completed by September 30, 2017. After project work concluded, grantees were still required to present project findings to FNS in spring 2018, which effectively built in additional time for wrap-up, analysis, and dissemination of results.
Second, FNS anticipated making up to ten Mini Grants, each ranging from $50,000 to $75,000, again based on application quality and the requested budgets. Mini Grants had a much shorter performance period, from the award date through March 30, 2016, and all major project activities needed to be completed by that same date. Similar to the Full Grant structure, Mini Grant recipients also had a required findings presentation component after completion of the main work, with presentations to FNS expected in summer 2016.
Key administrative details include an award floor of $50,000 and an award ceiling of $400,000, reflecting the Mini versus Full grant funding bands. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is Food and Nutrition. The opportunity was posted on July 16, 2014, and the application closing date was September 15, 2014, after which it was archived on October 15, 2014. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Leslie Byrd, Grants Officer at FNS, reachable by phone at 703-305-2867, with an email contact referenced in the notice.
