The objective of the Special Nutrition
Program Operations Study (SNPOS) is to collect timely data on
policies, administrative, and operational issues on the Child
Nutrition Programs. The ultimate goal of the study is to analyze
these data and provide input for new legislation on Child Nutrition
Programs as well as to provide pertinent technical assistance and
training to program implementation staff. SNPOS will help the Food
and Nutrition Service (FNS) at the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA) better understand and address current policy
issues related to Special Nutrition Program (SNP) operations. The
policy and operational issues include, but are not limited to, the
preparation of the program budget, development and implementation
of program policy and regulations, and identification of areas for
technical assistance and training.
