FNS anticipates awarding between 6 and 12 Process and Technology Improvement Grants.FNS reminds applicants that the submission of a proposal does not guarantee funding.

All SNAP Process and Technology Improvement Grant funds must be obligated and all activities under the grant must be completed by end of the project period, Sept. 1, 2024 through Sept. 30, 2027.If the activities funded under this grant are part of a larger eligibility system project with total projected costs exceeding $6 million, an Advance Planning Document (APD) must be submitted and approved prior to the expenditure of these grant funds.APD Guidance ProcessIf the proposed project funded with this grant benefits other programs in addition to SNAP, then the costs must be allocated appropriately between all of the benefiting programs.
