Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA FNS SNAP 2021
The FY2021 SNAP Longitudinal Data grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number USDA FNS SNAP 2021) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Nutrition Service (FNS). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means recipients should expect active involvement from the federal agency during the project period, such as coordination on major project decisions, data governance expectations, deliverables, or technical assistance. The program falls under the Food and Nutrition funding activity category and is listed under CFDA Number 10.577.
This opportunity was created to carry out Section 4015 of the 2018 Farm Bill, which set aside $20 million for states to establish longitudinal research databases. In practical terms, the goal is to support state efforts to build or improve data systems that can follow (track) program participants over time, enabling stronger research and evaluation of SNAP-related outcomes, participation dynamics, and potentially related public programs where permitted. A longitudinal database is meant to help answer questions that cannot be addressed with one-time snapshots of data, such as how participant circumstances change, how long households receive benefits, patterns of entry and exit, and how program interactions may relate to longer-term indicators that states can measure and responsibly maintain.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, meaning the primary applicants are states (and typically the responsible state SNAP agency or another authorized state entity coordinating across agencies). Awards were expected to be made to roughly 10 recipients, with an anticipated maximum (award ceiling) of $2,250,000 per award. The original application closing date was April 13, 2021, and the opportunity was posted on February 11, 2021. Overall, the funding is aimed at enabling states to create durable, research-ready data infrastructure for SNAP that supports ongoing analysis over multiple years, rather than one-off studies, aligning with the Farm Bill directive to strengthen evidence-building through better longitudinal data capacity.Apply for USDA FNS SNAP 2021
