Network for a Healthy California Local Food and Nutrition Education Request for Applications (RFA)
The Cancer Prevention and Nutrition Section (CPNS) of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is releasing the Network for a Healthy California’s Local Food and Nutrition Education Request for Applications (RFA) on April 23, 2008. The Network is pleased to announce this funding opportunity for non-profit, community-based organizations who wish to actively implement innovative nutrition education interventions and promote access to healthy food on behalf of FSNE-eligible California residents. The applicants are asked to address three primary objectives including: 1) provide and implement innovative nutrition education activities in organization settings that address and support anti-hunger, food justice, economic development, community-supported agriculture and cooperative educational models; 2) provide technical assistance and community leadership to Network-funded projects; and 3) participate in the Network’s partnership development efforts via the Local Food and Nutrition Education Action Committee’s statewide advisory meetings.
The term of the Local Food and Nutrition Education (LFNE) contracts will be October 1, 2008 – September 30, 2011. Approximately $1,020,000 will be awarded annually with awards of a maximum of $85,000 per contractor per year. The funding is from the United States Department of Agriculture through an interagency agreement with the Department of Social Services and is part of the State plan for Food Stamp Nutrition Education. Funding for the LFNE projects is contingent on the continued availability of funds through the United States Department of Agriculture Food Stamp Nutrition Education Plan.
