Call for Extension Research Proposals “Improving SNAP-Ed Programs and Evaluations” Announcement 9/8/08 – Proposal Due Date 12/1/08
The goal of this funding initiative is to support research projects that will provide direct benefit to the delivery or evaluation of SNAP-Ed (FSNE) programs. The projects will result in findings and recommendations that will be disseminated directly to SNAP-Ed program personnel, and to the larger scientific and policy communities through publication in peer-review journals. A secondary goal is to facilitate the development of pilot projects that can form the basis for larger projects to study effective SNAP-Ed programming, funded by USDA or other sources.
Eligibility is limited to universities that contribute to the Extension Administrators/Directors SNAP-Ed assessment. Please contact Sandra Jensen, Land-Grant SNAP-Ed Office Manager, for more information at sandra.jensen@sdstate.edu.
