Agency: USDA Food and Nutrition Service
Action: Comments Requested by December 27, 2024
Why it matters: USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is seeking information whether modernization projects related to Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and WIC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) have been effective. The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021 provided FNS with $390 million and waiver authority to modernize WIC. This Outreach, Innovation, and Modernization Evaluation is expected to inform FNS about the implementation and impacts of ARPA-funded projects on the effectiveness of modernization efforts.
