Food and Nutrition Assistance Research Program

The Food and Nutrition Assistance Research Program (FNARP) is a federal initiative that supports research on food assistance programs, like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Its goal is to improve access to healthy food for low-income individuals and families. FNARP funds studies to understand the effectiveness of these programs, exploring how they impact nutrition, food security, and public health. The findings help policymakers and organizations enhance existing programs and develop new strategies to reduce hunger and improve diets among vulnerable populations, ultimately promoting better health outcomes in the community.
