Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) Data System—The SNAP Data System
provides time-series data on State and county-level estimates
of SNAP participation and benefit levels, combined with
area estimates of total population and the number of persons
in poverty. It also has an interactive web-based mapping
application that maps program participation and benefit
levels with county level detail for the States and the
Nation.
The National Household Food Acquisition and Purchase Survey (FoodAPS)—ERS's newly funded survey will provide unique and detailed data about household food choices that are not available in any other survey. FoodAPS is a nationally representative survey of household food purchases and acquisitions, including foods purchased for consumption at home and away from home as well as foods acquired through food and nutrition assistance programs (both public and private).
Database of Waivers of SNAP Rules (formerly Food Stamp Program Rules Database)—SNAP waives certain rules when State Agencies ask for waivers designed to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the program. The Food Stamp Program State Rules Database and associated documentation were prepared by the Urban Institute with funding from the FANRP program to provide a central data source for State policy options in the Food Stamp Program (now SNAP).
FANRP Project Database—Provides details on all FANRP research projects including the project's objective, funding level, researchers, and expected completion date. A customized list of publications from these projects can be compiled from the FANRP Research Findings Database. The database is searchable by title, word(s) or phrases contained in the publication’s bibliographic citation, lead author, topic, year of publication, and data set.
