USDA’S Food and Nutrition Administration seeks to enter into a cooperative agreement(s) with an organization(s)/agency(ies) with expertise in working with Tribal communities who can develop, design, and implement an innovative nutrition education project for participants and program staff of the FDPIR.
Materials in the USDA Foods programs' sharing galleries are shared to help agencies provide more nutrition and food information to CSFP and FDPIR participants. This page explains the inclusion criteria for recipes to be included in the sharing galleries.

Federal administrative funding is available for these activities, which can include individual nutrition counseling, cooking demonstrations, nutrition classes, and the dissemination of information on how USDA Foods may be used to contribute to a nutritious diet.
The USDA Foods Nutrition Education Resource Library provides program-specific, nutrition education resources for FDPIR administering agencies.
