Examples of funded projects...
The 1998 and 1999 TN Training Grants produced innovative projects such as the development of an interactive nutrition education and training web site that is accessible to students, teachers, school food service personnel and parents; development of training curricula for teachers to incorporate nutrition education activities into their lessons; and providing training for school districts on integrating TN with school health programs. The 1999 TN Demonstration Projects were awarded two-year funding to help FNS develop models of firmly established TN initiatives that will be appealing and helpful to States across the country. The 2000 grantees were awarded one-year funding to provide training to school and child care decision makers on The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2000. The 2001 grantees were awarded funding to focus all or part of the two- year grant on improving the school nutrition environment, using USDA's resource kit, "Changing the Scene: Improving the School Nutrition Environment: A Guide to Local Action." The 2002 Grants was also two-year grants and allow states to continue to implement the three team nutrition strategies and to continue efforts to improve the school nutrition environment. The 2003 Grants were recently awarded funding to focus on preventing childhood obesity by improving healthy eating and physical activity in schools, childcare centers, home and community through collaboration efforts with existing state and local organizations and partners.
