Description

The goal of the FY 2022 Team Nutrition Training Grant for School Nutrition Professional Readiness and Retention is to build and retain a strong school nutrition workforce that has the knowledge, skills, and the necessary support to provide nutritious school meals during SY 2022-2023 and 2023-2024.

Grant Tracks

Grant funds will be made available on a competitive basis under three grant tracks:

1. Coaching and Mentoring for School Nutrition Professionals

2. Incentivized Training for School Nutrition Professionals

3. Nutrition Education for School Nutrition Professionals, Students, and Families

State agencies may submit one application specifying a single grant track. State agencies may not mix and match activities from the three different grant tracks.
