Progress 09/01/23 to 08/31/24

Outputs
Target Audience:Target audiences are applicants, grantees, practitioners, Tribes, residents (i.e., NI/PPR participants), farmers, grocers, health professionals, healthcare and insurance providers, researchers and evaluators, and members of underrepresented communities and geographies (UCGs). In addition, the NTAE engages with several groups to help achieve program goals and objectives, including produce distributors, regional food system practitioners, nutrition education providers, point-of-sale (POS) companies, cooperative extensions, funders, USDA NIFA and FNS, and applicable state agencies. Changes/Problems:In the first year of this cooperative agreement, the NTAE has not encountered any major problems or delays in the proposed plan. However, the NTAE has made slight adjustments to the timeline proposed in the grant application to accommodate more time needed for formative efforts. Planning for all tasks and deliverables under each objective has begun, but the timeline for launch and completion has been modified for some deliverables. For example: Field visits, focused outreach, and resources specifically for UCGs will be completed in Y2 through Y4 rather than Y1 to ensure the NTAE has time to plan these efforts and is well positioned to support UCGs. New data visualization pages, peer-reviewed literature, and revised resources will be uploaded to the website beginning in Y2 rather than Y1 to accommodate the transition to a new technology vendor. Core metrics refinements and adaptations will extend into Y2 and Y3. Implementing the new TA annual survey and NTAE self-evaluation will start in Y2 rather than Y1 to accommodate integrated technology system planning procedures to inform the self-evaluation focus. The objectives and activities with a modified timeline are noted below: Objective 1 Activities, Outputs, Outcomes, and Milestones Build capacity and promote program growth and sustainability in UCGs.

Online courses completed by NTAE staff primarily focused on skill-building, including data analysis (PowerBI and ArcGIS) and project management. The majority of CNHI staff members attended a workshop titled "An Equity Centered Approach to Research and Evaluation" as part of an ongoing series focused on recognizing implicit biases, awareness of personal privilege, and incorporating diverse perspectives in research/projects. NTAE staff and consultants led and/or participated in several CNHI professional development groups to foster information sharing, mentoring, and team building across roles, including program advisors, supervisors, project managers, research associates, and research scientists. Throughout the year, NTAE staff sought further education across a broad span of topic areas by attending virtual and in-person seminars and traveling to a wide range of professional conferences. Topic areas covered by these webinars/seminars and conferences included technological innovation, food systems, food sovereignty, reducing environmental impacts, DEIA, food policy, malnutrition, Cooperative Extension, and state-specific nutrition incentive projects. The list below includes professional development and learning activities that the broader Nutrition Incentive Hub engaged in throughout this reporting period.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? In Year 1 (Y1) of NTAE 2.0, the NTAE began development of an updated and integrated support system to provide efficient and streamlined implementation and support services for the communities and geographies GusNIP serves. The NTAE continued to provide Training and Technical Assistance (T&TA) in both implementation and evaluation to a growing number of Nutrition Incentive (NI) and Produce Prescription (PPR) grantees. In addition, core partners of NTAE 2.0 including Center for Nutrition and Health Impact (CNHI; formerly the Gretchen Swanson Center for Nutrition), Fair Food Network (FFN), and University of California San Francisco (UCSF) piloted a new program advising model where implementation, reporting, and evaluation support were streamlined across partners and simplified for new grantees. Program advisors were trained in the new model and onboarded grantees according to the new 2.0 protocols. As a result, many grantees launched their projects and started submitting both firm- and participant-level data, with plans in place to clean, aggregate, analyze, and report results during Year 2 (Y2). During this formative year of NTAE 2.0, staff laid the foundation for streamlined and efficient work to be accomplished in future years. We planned and initiated many cross-partnership meetings to facilitate communication and collaboration between core partners and Nutrition Incentive Hub specialists. CNHI created 9 work groups, each with their own NTAE 2.0 statements of work and official work plans. We established and convened an Indigenous Rural Learning Circle to enhance service to Tribal communities. Finally, we engaged 56 applicant organizations from underrepresented communities and geographies (UCGs) for the FY24 grant cycle and awarded $900,000 through the Capacity Building and Innovation Fund (CBIF) to support GusNIP applicants from UCGs. OBJ 1: Engage GusNIP audiences to improve and sustain GusNIP NI/PPR Programs, with an emphasis on reaching underrepresented communities and geographies (UCGs). To build capacity and promote program growth and sustainability in UCGs, the NTAE: Engaged with 6 applicant organizations from 18 different UCGs for the FY24 NI grant and 50 applicant organizations from 19 different UCGs for the FY24 PPR grant. Awarded $900,000 to 41 organizations across 23 states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico through the CBIF to provide capacity building support for organizations preparing to apply for a GusNIP award in FY24. Selected and began working with a consultant that will guide and implement the GusNIP Learning Circle (GLC). Facilitated a new GusNIP Indigenous Rural Learning Circle for PPR projects to build capacity among Indigenous and rural communities. OBJ 2: Provide and continuously improve T&TA services that optimize the experience of GusNIP audiences. To collect and provide best practices for NI/PPR projects, the NTAE: Developed an interview guide and completed 12 interviews with NTAE scientists, Project Director, Co-Project Director, project managers, research associates, and program advisors to evaluate team understanding and needs for an integrated system. Conducted 6 focus groups with NTAE staff and core partners (33 participants representing 3 organizations) to further envision an integrated technology system. Used results from interviews and focus groups for technology work group to develop a list of requirements and a request for proposals (RFP) to develop an integrated technology system. A review committee with representatives from all NTAE core partners (CNHI, FFN, UCSF) reviewed 7 vendor applications, received presentations from 3 vendors, and selected 1 vendor to move forward with development. Conducted a data visualization page audit for existing pages to better understand KPIs for new dashboard pages. Developed and disseminated 7 internal resources and 62 external, public facing resources via the Searchable Resource Library. To disseminate information and assist w/collaboration across GusNIP audiences and Coordinate communication between NTAE & all GusNIP audiences, the NTAE: Conducted 155 consultations with PPR applicants and 31 consultations with NI applicants during the FY24 PPR RFA through 1:1s, group sessions, and webinars. Developed 13 new resources associated with FY24 RFA support. Provided 31 scholarships to GusNIP grantees to attend the annual Project Directors Meeting in New Orleans, 6 scholarships to GusNIP grantees to attend the National Grocers Association Show in Las Vegas, and 8 scholarships to GusNIP grantees to attend the Mobile Market Summit in Phoenix. Hosted an EBT Integration Working Group Kickoff Meeting in Boston with 26 attendees from 10 different states. Programs gathered to learn from incentive programs in Massachusetts and Rhode Island on how to add incentive benefits to the EBT card at brick-and-mortar and farm direct locations. Hosted 8 communities of practice, each meeting monthly or bi-monthly, including 2 new communities of practice focused on farmers market incentive technology and communications/marketing. Hosted 4 learning cohorts on participant engagement, state funding, and local sourcing. Hosted 9 GusNIP RFA-specific webinars (See "Webinars" in "Other Products" below). To ensure training is culturally competent and centered on DEIA principles, the NTAE: Convened partners and GusNIP Learning Circle (GLC) consultant in April 2024 to begin developing DEIA strategic plan and trainings. To ensure seamless data deposition of core metrics, the NTAE: Piloted a modified advising model to provide integrated implementation, reporting, and evaluation support to FY24 grantees (e.g., kickoff webinar, onboarding calls, recurring check-in meetings, ad-hoc support). Provided $14,000 total in funding to 8 grantees for participant-level survey stipends. Ensured continuing education for Program Advisors through biweekly meetings. To receive, maintain, and transition via a warm hand-off a publicly accessible on-line site, the NTAE: Maintained the website and portal with the NTAE 1.0 technology consultant with minor updates and fixes that arose (e.g., adding Territories to grantee map). Updated 19 resources in the Nutrition Incentive Hub website. Extended existing technology contract and coordinated efforts between new technology consultant and previous technology consultant to transition materials and knowledge. To work with grantees on human subjects and intellectual property protections, the NTAE: Guided FY24 grantees through documenting Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval with USDA NIFA and completing human subjects research training (e.g., CITI). Assisted grantees with existing IRB protocol modifications and continuing reviews. Served as liaison between grantees and for-profit IRBs to advocate for expedited review, IRB fees control, and translation of requested edits to submitted IRB packages. OBJ 3: Conduct a rigorous evaluation of NI and PPR projects centered on DEIA principles. To compile project data from grantees, the NTAE: Hosted informational kickoff webinars for firm-level and participant-level data collection. Provided ongoing firm-level reporting and participant-level data collection support through centralized advising help desks. To maintain and improve instrument design and mechanism for reporting core data sets, the NTAE: Began planning a process to update core metrics and guidance to grantees by discussing at partner meetings and mini convenings and soliciting feedback from the External Evaluators Community of Practice. To use evaluation data to inform NTAE 2.0 implementation, the NTAE Engineered and disseminated the GusNIP Site Map, a geographic information system (GIS) map designed to display GusNIP NI and PPR sites alongside demographic base layers (i.e. poverty status, race and Hispanic origin, low income, low access areas, etc.) to better understand GusNIP's reach.
