Grant Overview
Tennessee maintains strict compliance frameworks for nutrition education targeting low-income families, driven by overlapping federal SNAP-Ed requirements and state health department audit protocols. The 95 counties present variable food access, with 23 eastern counties reporting grocery store density below one per 10,000 residents and higher rates of diet-related hospitalizations in Appalachian districts.
Risk and Compliance Requirements in Tennessee Applicants must hold current memoranda of understanding with county health departments and submit curricula pre-approved by the Tennessee Department of Human Services to avoid duplication with existing EFNEP programming. Budgets require separation of allowable educational materials from unallowable food purchases, with detailed tracking of participant eligibility verification through existing DHS case files.
Economic anchors include automotive manufacturing clusters around Nashville and Memphis logistics hubs, where shift-work schedules constrain family participation in weekday sessions. Infrastructure limitations appear in broadband gaps affecting 28 percent of rural households, necessitating paper-based follow-up materials.
Delivery Standards for Tennessee Nutrition Programs Projects must demonstrate use of existing cooperative extension offices for session delivery and report monthly on fidelity to approved lesson plans. Demographic data collection includes household size and county-level food insecurity indices published annually by Feeding America.
Unlike Kentucky applications, Tennessee requires demonstration of extreme rural delivery capacity due to frontier county designation and simultaneous management of multi-state SNAP retailer compliance audits.
