The Team Nutrition Grant (TNG) Project began in 2003 with the goal to guide and assist schools to create and maintain a coordinated, comprehensive school health program. Such a program integrates a school's child nutrition programs, with the classroom, the community, and entire school environment. A coordinated, comprehensive school health program (CSHP) can be implemented to create a healthy school environment through a "model" nutrition policy. Thirty schools voluntarily applied to participate in the piloting of the model policy. A panel of members from the education community selected the pilot schools using specific criteria while scoring the grant applications using a rubric totaling 100 points. This document is an overview of the pilot study. It is organized into the following sections: (1) TNG Project Description; (2) Data Collection and Evaluation Methods; (3) Summary of Pre-Model Policy Implementation Findings; (4) Final Results; and (5) Discussion. The following are appended: (1) TNG Financial Monthly Report Form; and (2) Team Nutrition Grant Financial Report Instruction Tips.
