Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA FNS CN ART 2019
The Administrative Review and Training (ART) Grant is a USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) competitive funding opportunity designed to help State agencies strengthen oversight of the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP). The grant stems from requirements created by the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 (P.L. 108-265), which updated key provisions of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act and the Child Nutrition Act. In practical terms, the law directs State agencies to carry out additional administrative reviews of certain Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) and provides annual support for States to improve oversight and training. The main focus is on LEAs that either show a high level of administrative errors or appear to be at high risk for such errors, with the broader goal of improving program integrity and compliance in school meal operations.
For FY 2019, FNS made up to $8.5 million available for ART grants, offered as cooperative agreements under a discretionary funding category. Funding is limited to the 57 eligible State agencies that administer NSLP and SBP, meaning local entities and non-state organizations are not eligible applicants under this announcement. Funds are intended to support a set of connected activities: identifying LEAs with elevated error levels or risk indicators, conducting and expanding administrative reviews where needed, monitoring corrective actions and ongoing compliance, and delivering targeted training and technical assistance to reduce recurring issues. The emphasis is not simply on performing reviews as a compliance exercise, but on using review findings to guide practical training and support that helps LEAs correct problems and prevent them from reappearing.
FNS offered two grant tracks under this opportunity: Planning grants and Implementation grants. Planning grants generally support a State agency in designing or strengthening its approach to selecting high-risk LEAs, building tools and processes for oversight, developing training strategies, and preparing for broader execution. Implementation grants, by contrast, are meant to fund active rollout of oversight and training efforts, including carrying out reviews, providing hands-on training, and operationalizing monitoring systems aimed at reducing administrative errors among targeted LEAs. Together, these tracks are intended to move States from assessing needs and building capacity to executing sustained oversight and training interventions.
Key administrative details for this specific posting include the funding opportunity number USDA FNS CN ART 2019, CFDA number 10.579, and an award ceiling of $3,000,000 per award, with an anticipated total of about five awards. The opportunity was created on November 28, 2018, with an original application deadline of March 5, 2019. Overall, the ART Grant program is structured to help State agencies concentrate resources where the risk to program compliance is greatest, while also improving the quality and consistency of LEA operations through targeted training and follow-up.Apply for USDA FNS CN ART 2019
