Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education Toolkit
10.533
The Supplemental Nutrition Education (SNAP-Ed) Toolkit: - Hosts a database of nutrition education and physical activity promotion interventions which have been peer-reviewed and determined to be evidence-based interventions for use in SNAP-Ed. - Contains the SNAP-Ed Evaluation Framework, an interactive tool including recommended behavioral indicators and evaluation tools for use in SNAP-Ed programs. - Includes a literature review database of peer-reviewed SNAP-Ed funded literature. - Provides technical assistance resources that State and implementing agencies can use to improve implementation of SNAP-Ed, such as a list of interventions and resources for online education.
This chart shows obligations for the program by fiscal year. All data for this chart was provided by the
administering agency and sourced from SAM.gov, USASpending.gov, and Treasury.gov.

About the data page.
In FY 2019, intervention developers submitted 74 nutrition education interventions for peer review. 50 of these interventions were determined to be evidence-based for use in SNAP-Ed by 64 researchers and practitioners in the fields of nutrition and public health. Detailed descriptions of the 50 new nutrition interventions, including behavioral outcomes associated with each, were added to the SNAP-Ed Toolkit by the close of the fiscal year.
In FY 2020, an additional 21 new interventions were added to the SNAP-Ed Toolkit. There are now more than 150 evidence-based interventions available to State and implementing agencies. Existing interventions were updated to include cost of materials, with additional updates made, as needed. Additional training resources, such as a list of interventions that are evidence-based for use online, and an online resource list, were added to facilitate SNAP-Ed program’s ability to operate while complying with distancing requirements to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In FY2021, in addition website updates and maintenance, the SNAP-Ed Toolkit convened an expert working group to assess gaps and update selected SNAP-Ed Evaluation Framework indicators. The training resources section of the website was updated and enhances.
In FY2022, in addition to website updates, operation and maintenance, the SNAP-Ed Toolkit (Toolkit) called for new evidence-based interventions to promote increases in public health approaches to address nutrition security, and alignment with the Thrifty Food Plan and the most current Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Thirteen new interventions and three new resources were selected and added to the collection of 147 evidence-based interventions, including curricula that celebrate diverse cultural traditions; policy, systems and environmental change strategies; and a social marketing campaign. The Toolkit team also developed a compendium of SNAP-Ed funded outcomes included in peer-reviewed papers, as directed by the 2018 Farm Bill, which required the creation of an online clearinghouse for best practices to assist SNAP-Ed providers with program planning, implementation and evaluation. Additionally, the Toolkit team conducted a series of equity-focused training webinars to address community engagement, staff recruitment, development and retention and community needs assessment through an equity lens.
In FY 2023, in addition to website updates and maintenance, the UNC team added a new Literature Review database to the SNAP-Ed Toolkit website. This is a searchable database with peer-reviewed literature on outcome evaluation results from SNAP-Ed funded projects. The database includes categories, such as target behavior, setting, and outcome level, to enable a more focused list of published papers for review. Each paper included in the online database includes an Abstract and link. If the published paper includes an intervention in the SNAP-Ed Toolkit, a link to the intervention is also provided. The Toolkit team also worked to gather information about updates needed to the SNAP-Ed Evaluation Framework. This included feedback from internal and external SNAP-Ed partners. The Toolkit team worked to transition the SNAP-Ed Toolkit website and resources to the SNAP-Ed Connection website, allowing all resources to be available for SNAP-Ed partners on one website.
