Opportunity Information: Apply for CN F2S TRAINING 16
The USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) Farm to School Training Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: CN F2S TRAINING 16) is a discretionary grant program in the Food and Nutrition funding area (CFDA 10.575) focused on supporting farm to school training efforts. The program is structured as a grant (not a contract or cooperative agreement), with individual awards capped at $50,000. USDA/FNS anticipated making about 25 awards under this solicitation.
Eligibility for this particular solicitation is extremely limited and closed to the general public. Only organizations that previously submitted a Letter of Intent (LOI) in response to the USDA Farm to School Training Grant Solicitation, and were specifically invited by USDA/FNS to proceed, are allowed to apply. Those invited applicants were instructed to submit their full application packages through the Grants.gov portal. Any organization that did not submit the required LOI or was not asked by USDA/FNS to submit an application is explicitly ineligible to participate.
Key administrative details include an original closing date of October 23, 2015, and a creation/posting date of October 6, 2015. The opportunity is listed under the “Others” eligible applicant category in the source data, but that category is effectively narrowed by the LOI gatekeeping requirement, meaning that eligibility is determined by prior participation and USDA/FNS invitation rather than by organizational type alone.Apply for CN F2S TRAINING 16
