Abstract: The project will provide information on the current Federal, Regional, and State data systems and processes; the current and future data needs and goals of SNAP E&T; and the gaps between the current systems and data needs. In addition, a final report will provide recommendations to address these gaps through changes to data systems and information technology (IT) solutions, improved business processes, and expanded technical assistance. There is currently no other effort that can address the research objectives of the proposed project.
