USDA ERS and FNS have co-sponsored the National Household Food Acquisition and Purchase Survey (FoodAPS-1); research grants for analysis of FoodAPS-1, and methodological research to develop FoodAPS-2, as well as a number of data development activities. Between 2013 and 2018, USDA FNS funded ∼50 cooperative research agreements and grants between the ERS researchers, university-based centers, and university-based researchers, tallying >$3 million provided through the ERS. These agreements have covered wide ranging topics including food security, SNAP, WIC, School Meal Programs, promotion of healthier eating, and the food retail environment.
