Program objective
The Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (GusNIP) allows the Secretary to provide funding opportunities to conduct and evaluate projects providing incentives to increase the purchase of fruits and vegetables by eligible participants. By bringing together stakeholders from various parts of the food and healthcare systems, GusNIP grants help foster understanding to improve the health and nutrition status of participating households, facilitate growth in States with low participation, as well as collect and aggregate data to identify and improve best practices on a broad scale. OVERVIEW: The 2018 Farm Bill authorized the program for fiscal years 2019 through 2023 and growth in program funding from $45 million to $56 million to be appropriated over 5 years. Across the GusNIP grant program there are three grant types and three project types available, which are described briefly below: GRANT TYPES: Nutrition Incentive – develop and evaluate projects to increase the purchase of fruits and vegetables by low-income consumers participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by providing incentives at the point of purchase, Produce Prescription – conduct projects that demonstrate and evaluate the impact of financial or nonfinancial incentive prescriptions of fresh fruits and vegetables in addition to nutrition educational opportunities to increase procurement and consumption of fruits and vegetables, reduce individual and household food insecurity, and reduce healthcare usage and associated costs, and; Cooperative Agreement - offer training, technical assistance, evaluation, and informational support services to the nutrition incentive projects, produce prescription projects and to the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program as a whole.
