This grant, offered by the Humanitarian Food Assistance Department, is designed to significantly improve the nutritional outcomes for individuals, particularly vulnerable infants and young children, affected by or at risk of malnutrition. Its primary purpose is to enhance the nutritional content, composition, and packaging of food products delivered through global humanitarian assistance initiatives. Successful applicants will focus on developing and rigorously field-testing innovative food products, including ready-to-use foods, fortified blended foods, high energy foods, or micronutrient powders. Projects may also involve evaluating existing food aid items not yet approved for broader use within programs like McGovern Dole and Food for Peace Title II. The ultimate goal is to optimize nutritional delivery and the functional form of humanitarian food assistance.
