Grant Description: The USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) expects to have approximately $1.5 million in fiscal year (FY) 2007 funds available for Special Project Grants to WIC State agencies. Grant funds will be available only to the 90 WIC State agencies responsible for administering WIC in the States, Territories, and Indian Tribal Organizations (ITOs). There are two types of WIC Special Project Grants: Full Grants and Concept Paper Development Grants. This Request for Applications (RFA) covers both the Full Grants and the Concept Paper Development Grants. FNS anticipates making Full Grant awards ranging from $100,000 to $500,000 each, depending on the quality and number of applications. Up to $200,000 in FY 2007 funds will be used to develop concept papers into Full Grant proposals for submission for the FY 2008 WIC Special Project Grants application cycle, pending availability of funds. Up to 10 grants of $20,000 each will be awarded to State agencies by September 30, 2007. The actual number of concept paper awards will depend on the quality of the application(s), the availability of funds, and how much of the FY 2007 funds will be used to fund the FY 2007 WIC Special Project Full Grants.
