SNAP-Ed Plan Guidance and Policy

The Guidance document provides policy guidance for States regarding the operation of the SNAP Nutrition Education and Obesity Prevention Grant Program, referred to as SNAP-Ed. This Guidance supersedes all previous Guidance.

The Checklist for Evidence-Based Approaches and the Checklist for Public Health
Approaches were developed by the Western Region and are used by some other
Regions. They provide detailed descriptions, steps, and examples that may assist
States as they consider approaches for delivery of nutrition education and obesity
prevention services. The checklist for Evidence-Based Approaches has been fully
integrated into the SNAP-Ed Plan and Annual Report, so it no longer exists as a
standalone document.
