Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA FNS ICN FY2017
USDA-FNS-ICN-FY2017 is a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) funding opportunity created on May 1, 2017, focused on maintaining the Institute of Child Nutrition (ICN) at the University of Mississippi. ICN functions as a national support center for child nutrition efforts, and the core purpose of this grant is to sustain that institute so it can continue delivering practical assistance, reliable information, and specialized services to State Educational Agencies. The underlying aim is continuous improvement across Child Nutrition Programs, meaning better program operations, stronger implementation support, and more consistent quality in how child nutrition initiatives are carried out at the state and local levels.
The opportunity is categorized under “Other” for both the opportunity category and the funding instrument type, and it is listed within the Agriculture funding activity category. It is associated with CFDA number 10.587, which corresponds to USDA programming in this space. The application window originally closed on June 30, 2017, indicating it was a time-limited competition or award action for that fiscal year.
In terms of funding scale and structure, the award ceiling is listed at $5,000,000, with an expectation of a single award. That design strongly suggests this was intended as a targeted, institution-sustaining award rather than a broad, multi-recipient grant program. In practice, an “expected awards: 1” setup typically reflects the government’s intent to fund one primary operator to perform a defined national role, consistent with ICN’s function as a centralized resource supporting multiple states and program stakeholders.
Eligibility is described as “Others,” with additional clarification referenced in an external eligibility text field (not included in the excerpt provided). Even without that extra field, the title and description make clear that the award is specifically tied to maintaining ICN at the University of Mississippi, implying that eligibility was likely limited or specialized in a way that aligns with that institution and its established role.
Overall, USDA-FNS-ICN-FY2017 is best understood as a dedicated federal support action to keep the Institute of Child Nutrition operating and delivering technical assistance and improvement-focused services for child nutrition programs nationwide, using a single, up-to-$5 million award administered through USDA FNS.Apply for USDA FNS ICN FY2017
