Child Nutrition Program Operations Study, School Year 2017-2018

    The data are from a descriptive study of the USDA National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP). The data were collected between April and August 2018 using web-based surveys given to a nationally representative sample of School Food Authorities (SFAs) and 53 of 55 State agencies that administer the NSLP and SBP (Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands were not asked to participate due to hurricanes in the region at the time of data collection). The survey questions collected data about NSLP and SBP operations during school year (SY) 2017–18 and financial data from SY 2016–17.

    Gridded 20-Year Parameterization of a Stochastic Weather Generator (CLIGEN) to Fill Gaps in Coverage South of the 40th Parallel

      CLImate GENerator (CLIGEN) is a stochastic weather generator that produces daily and sub-daily timeseries of weather variables. This gridded CLIGEN parameterization complements existing coverage for South America and Africa by adding new coverage for Central America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and various islands.

        WIC Participant and Program Characteristics 2020

          FNS developed a prototype system that allowed for the routine acquisition of information on WIC participants from WIC State Agencies. Since 1992, State Agencies have provided electronic copies of these data to FNS on a biennial basis. The 2020 Participant and Program Characteristics (PC2020) is the 17th to be completed using the prototype PC reporting system. In April 2020, there were 89 State agencies: the 50 States, American Samoa, the District of Columbia, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and 33 Indian Tribal Organizations (ITOs).

          Gridded 20-Year Parameterization of a Stochastic Weather Generator (CLIGEN) for South American and African Continents at 0.25 Arc Degree Resolution

            CLImate GENerator (CLIGEN) is a stochastic weather generator that produces daily and sub-daily timeseries of weather variables. The resulting timeseries are statistically similar to observed timeseries considering various temporal scales and climate factors. This dataset consisting of CLIGEN inputs may be used to generate timeseries at any point in a 0.25 arc degree resolution grid covering South American and African continents.

            WIC Infant and Toddler Feeding Practices Study-2 (WIC ITFPS-2): Prenatal, Infant Year, Second Year, Third Year, and Fourth Year Datasets

              The WIC Infant and Toddler Feeding Practices Study–2 (WIC ITFPS-2) addresses a series of research questions regarding feeding practices, the effect of WIC services on those practices, and the health and nutrition outcomes of children on WIC. These datasets include data from caregivers and their children during the prenatal period and during the children’s first four years of life (child ages 1 to 48 months).
