FY 2016 Administrative Review and Training (ART) Grants

FNS invites state agencies that administer NSLP and SBP to apply for a competitive ART Grant for the purpose of identifying, reviewing, monitoring and training local education agencies (LEAs) that have demonstrated a high level of, or a high risk for, administrative error. Under this RFA, up to $3.8 million is available in fiscal year 2016 to fund ART Grants for oversight and training.

Two types of ART Grants are being offered:

1. Planning grants for up to $75,000, and
2. Implementation grants of up to $1,500,000.

States may apply for either a Planning grant or an Implementation grant, but not both under this RFA solicitation. The application submission due date is July 5, 2016.
