Food and Nutrition Service 

Title: SNAP-Ed Intervention Scoring 

Tool FNS–885 and Intervention 

Submission Form FNS–886. 

OMB Control Number: 0584–0639. 

Summary of Collection: The SNAP-Ed 

Strategies and Interventions: An Obesity 

Prevention Toolkit for States (SNAP-Ed 

Toolkit) was developed collaboratively 

by FNS National and Regional Office 

SNAP-Ed staff, the National 

Collaborative on Childhood Obesity 

Reduction (NCCOR), and the 

Association of SNAP Nutrition 

Education Administrators (ASNNA). 

The SNAP-Ed Toolkit website and 

resources were recently moved to the 

SNAP-Ed Connection website to 

establish SNAP-Ed’s online 

Clearinghouse, which includes 

evidence-based SNAP-Ed interventions. 

State agencies can use the evidencebased interventions in the SNAP-Ed 

Clearinghouse (formerly the SNAP-Ed 

Toolkit) to locate interventions for their 

implementation of SNAP-Ed 

programming. 

FNS updated the forms and burden 

estimates based on consultations with 

SNAP-Ed State and implementing 

agency partners, other Federal agencies, 

and users of the forms. FNS has refined 

and streamlined the forms, and 

included additional instructions, 

questions, or opportunities for response 

where users, trainers, and FNS partners 

indicated areas for improvement. FNS 

has also made wording changes to fix 

typographical errors and improve 

readability. Overall, the changes to the 

forms are focused on form 

improvements for the end user. 

The SNAP-Ed Intervention 

Submission Form: FNS–886 provides 

information about the intervention they 

are submitting for inclusion in the 

SNAP-Ed Clearinghouse. This 

information includes intervention 

materials (such as materials used to 

develop and test the intervention, 

evaluation materials, or reports), the 

intended audience, and the evidence 

base which illustrates their 

effectiveness. The FNS–886 captures 

this information through a combination 

of multiple-choice boxes and text 

response areas. Submitters include 

members of SNAP-Ed State and 

implementing agencies, researchers 

from academic institutions and Federal 

agencies, and non-profit or private 

sector nutrition education and physical 

activity intervention developers. 

SNAP-Ed Intervention Scoring Tool 

Form FNS–885, is used to assess and 

rate each submission. The reviewers’ 

assessments are collected through a 

combination of numerical and text entry 

fields. 

Need and Use of the Information: FNS 

collects the SNAP-Ed Intervention 

Submission Forms and attachments and 

provides them to intervention 

reviewers. Reviewers include FNS staff, 

staff from other Federal agencies, such 

as the Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC), researchers from 

academic institutions, and SNAP-Ed 

State and implementing agency staff. 

The SNAP-Ed Intervention 

Submission Form, FNS–886 (Appendix 

C), and the SNAP-Ed Intervention 

Scoring Tool, FNS–885 (Appendix D), 

provide a uniform and transparent 

method for submission, review, and 

scoring of nutrition education, physical 

activity promotion, and obesity 

prevention interventions for inclusion 

in the SNAP-Ed Clearinghouse. SNAPEd State and implementing agencies, 

nutrition education and public health 

agencies, and other organizations use 

these voluntary forms to submit 

interventions for consideration. The 

SNAP-Ed Intervention Submission Form 

and Scoring Tool allows SNAP-Ed 

implementers and the review committee 

to determine if the intervention 

submitted for the SNAP-Ed 

Clearinghouse is evidence-based and 

uses one or more of the required 

approaches. These forms support FNS 

efforts to increase the selection of 

interventions available in the SNAP-Ed 

Clearinghouse, improve innovation in 

service delivery using interventions 

which reflect the latest research, and 

respond directly to agencies submitting 

interventions (submitters) for the SNAPEd Clearinghouse. 

Description of Respondents: State, 

Tribal, For profit and non-profit entities. 

Number of Respondents: 50. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

Occasionally; Annually. 

Total Burden Hours: 320.
