SNAP-Ed Annual Report Process Outline
- State agency (SA) starts the annual report:
This triggers the copy from last year’s annual report and this year’s annual plan. See Annual Report Data Copying for more information on what is copied into your report. - State agency (SA) and implementing agencies (IAs) enter report data:
Optionally import any relevant projects, success stories, and/or coalition data. Additional report details are entered:
Module 1: Project and Activity Results
Module 2: Evaluation Reports
Module 3: Success Stories
Module 4: Challenges and Modifications
Module 5: Coordination and Collaboration
Module 6: SNAP-Ed Financial Reporting
Module 7: Executive Summary
- Implementing agencies internally review and approve report, and submit report to State agency.
- State agencies review and approve the annual report.
- State agencies submit the annual report to the FNS Regional Office for review.
- The FNS Regional Office reviews the annual report:
If the report is not ready to be approved, FNS provides feedback to the State agency and unsubmits the report. If the report is ready to be approved, FNS approves the report.
NOTE: States without implementing agencies can bypass IA steps.
