FY 2005 Administrative Reviews and Training Grants: The Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004, P.L. 108-265, authorizes the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) to award $4,000,000 beginning in fiscal year (FY) 2005 and for each of the following fiscal years through FY 2009, to State Agencies for administrative reviews and training of selected local educational agencies. The Food and Nutrition Service is soliciting proposals for funding from State Agencies that have identified local educational agencies that have demonstrated a high level of, or a high risk for administrative error. The purpose of this funding is to decrease administrative errors in those School Food Authorities and schools identified by their States as having problems or where problems are likely to arise. Funds authorized cannot be used to replace or augment funding allocated for existing review requirements. FNS will make every effort to award funding for the full amount requested by State Agencies that are chosen for award, but reserves the right to partially fund requests. This solicitation seeks diverse proposals that identify local educational agencies that have had or are likely to experience administrative errors, and a list of reviews or training that would be conducted to address these errors. The proposals should include specific activities focused primarily on administrative reviews that would be carried out with the funds. The proposal can incorporate activities and training as long as it is directly related to the areas specified in the statute.
