Title: SNAP-Ed Intervention Scoring Tool FNS-885 and Intervention
Submission Form FNS-886.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0639.
Summary of Collection: The SNAP-Ed Strategies and Interventions: An
Obesity Prevention Toolkit for States (SNAP-Ed Toolkit) was developed
collaboratively by FNS National and Regional Office SNAP-Ed staff, the
National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Reduction (NCCOR), and the
Association of SNAP Nutrition Education Administrators (ASNNA). The
SNAP-Ed Toolkit website and resources were recently moved to the SNAP-
Ed Connection website to establish SNAP-Ed's online Clearinghouse,
which includes evidence-based SNAP-Ed interventions. State agencies can
use the evidence-based interventions in the SNAP-Ed Clearinghouse
(formerly the SNAP-Ed Toolkit) to locate interventions for their
implementation of SNAP-Ed programming.
FNS updated the forms and burden estimates based on consultations
with SNAP-Ed State and implementing agency partners, other Federal
agencies, and users of the forms. FNS has refined and streamlined the
forms, and included additional instructions, questions, or
opportunities for response where users, trainers, and FNS partners
indicated areas for improvement. FNS has also made wording changes to
fix typographical errors and improve readability. Overall, the changes
to the forms are focused on form improvements for the end user.
The SNAP-Ed Intervention Submission Form: FNS-886 provides
information about the intervention they are submitting for inclusion in
the SNAP-Ed Clearinghouse. This information includes intervention
materials (such as materials used to develop and test the intervention,
evaluation materials, or reports), the intended audience, and the
evidence base which illustrates their effectiveness. The FNS-886
captures this information through a combination of multiple-choice
boxes and text response areas. Submitters include members of SNAP-Ed
State and implementing agencies, researchers from academic institutions
and Federal agencies, and non-profit or private sector nutrition
education and physical activity intervention developers.
SNAP-Ed Intervention Scoring Tool Form FNS-885, is used to assess
and rate each submission. The reviewers' assessments are collected
through a combination of numerical and text entry fields.
Need and Use of the Information: FNS collects the SNAP-Ed
Intervention Submission Forms and attachments and provides them to
intervention reviewers. Reviewers include FNS staff, staff from other
Federal agencies, such as the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), researchers from academic institutions, and SNAP-Ed
State and implementing agency staff.
The SNAP-Ed Intervention Submission Form, FNS-886 (Appendix C), and
the SNAP-Ed Intervention Scoring Tool, FNS-885 (Appendix D), provide a
uniform and transparent method for submission, review, and scoring of
nutrition education, physical activity promotion, and obesity
prevention interventions for inclusion in the SNAP-Ed Clearinghouse.
SNAP-Ed State and implementing agencies, nutrition education and public
health agencies, and other organizations use these voluntary forms to
submit interventions for consideration. The SNAP-Ed Intervention
Submission Form and Scoring Tool allows SNAP-Ed implementers and the
review committee to determine if the intervention submitted for the
SNAP-Ed Clearinghouse is evidence-based and uses one or more of the
required approaches. These forms support FNS efforts to increase the
selection of interventions available in the SNAP-Ed Clearinghouse,
improve innovation in service delivery using interventions which
reflect the latest research, and respond directly to agencies
submitting interventions (submitters) for the SNAP-Ed Clearinghouse.
Description of Respondents: State, Tribal, For profit and non-
profit entities.
Number of Respondents: 50.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Occasionally; Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 320.
