| Description: | In accordance with Public Law 109-97, the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) plans to award grant funds to WIC State agencies to support WIC Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) pre-planning activities. This Request for Application (RFA) for EBT pre-planning grants is open to all WIC State agencies, including State agencies with existing WIC EBT projects. Grant funds are limited and will be awarded on a competitive basis. The award of funds under this RFA does not guarantee funding under future WIC EBT grant solicitations. The purpose of this RFA is twofold. Funds are intended for (1) Phase I pre-planning to address the specific needs of individual State agencies to facilitate eventual EBT pilot implementation and/or (2) to develop data collection tools for assessing costs for State agency use nationwide. (Note: For projects receiving FY 2007 funding, the EBT Cooperative Agreements will be funded no later than September 29, 2007. End dates will be determined based on individual proposals and approved timelines, but no later than December 31, 2009.) |
