Title: SNAP-Ed Connection Resource

OMB Number: 0584–0625.
Expiration Date: 4/30/2021.
Type of Request: Revision of currently

Abstract: In 2001, the United States
Department of Agriculture’s (USDA)
Food and Nutrition Service (FNS)
established the Food Stamp Nutrition
Connection to improve access to Food
Stamp Program Education resources. In
2008, the website was renamed the
SNAP-Ed Connection. The website is
developed and maintained at the FNS.
The SNAP-Ed Connection is a resource
website for SNAP-Ed administrators and
educators. SNAP-Ed personnel use the
SNAP-Ed Connection website to locate
curricula, participant materials,
nutrition research, administrative
documents, and information regarding
SNAP-Ed program development,
implementation and evaluation. This
resource website helps SNAP-Ed
personnel find the tools and information
they need to implement high-quality
evidence-based obesity prevention
programs.
The SNAP-Ed Library is an online
database of SNAP-Ed-related materials.
The SNAP-Ed Connection Resource
Sharing Form gives SNAP-Ed personnel,
as well as those who develop nutrition
education materials, the opportunity to
voluntarily share information about
resources that can be used to
administer, develop, implement,
evaluate or showcase SNAP-Ed
programs. Information collected via this
form enables the SNAP-Ed Connection
staff to review materials for possible
inclusion in the SNAP-Ed Library.
SNAP-Ed personnel and other interested
parties then search this database via the
SNAP-Ed Connection website https://
snaped.fns.usda.gov to locate materials
of interest. By using this database,
SNAP-Ed-funded programs can share
resources with each other, reduce
duplication of efforts, and improve
program quality. SNAP-Ed-funded
programs can also learn about useful
nutrition education materials created by
other organizations.
Users may complete the form online.
Respondents will provide contact
information, ordering information, and
information about the resource they are
submitting.

finalized, however, the following
updates are projected:
