Projects must align with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025–2030, and supplement (not duplicate) existing FDPIR nutrition education offerings. Deliverables include the development of new resources, training materials, and evaluation reports to support nutrition education for all Indian Tribal Organizations (ITOs) and State agencies administering FDPIR.
