This webinar provides an overview of the SNAP Longitudinal Data Project (LDP) grant opportunity and Request for Applications (RFA). Section 17(n) of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 authorizes FNS to provide grants on a competitive basis to state agencies that participate in the SNAP LDP.
Up to $5 million in grant funding is available in FY 2023 to support state participation. Technology and data related projects often take more than one year, especially considering the procurement and implementation of associated projects. Therefore, this funding is available as a multi-year grant with a four-year period of performance from September 2023 to September 2027.
States that received a LDP grant in prior years are eligible to reapply and must propose a new and compelling project to pursue with FY 2023 grant funds. This grant opportunity is open to the 53 state agencies that administer SNAP.
