Grant Overview

Assessing Risk in University Food Studies Program Development

Developing a comprehensive Food Studies program at a university level presents a unique set of complexities and risks that may undermine eligibility for funding. The primary barriers often include insufficient alignment between program objectives and the funding body's goals related to food sovereignty and educational impact. If a program appears too theoretical without a clear application to real-world challenges, it may be less likely to secure support.

Compliance traps may emerge if institutions do not adhere to accreditation standards or fail to provide a curriculum that includes practical experiential learning components. Risks also involve the potential misalignment of faculty research interests with the program's intended outcomes, which can lead to a lack of coherence in the educational offerings and ultimately impact student engagement.

In addition, certain aspects of program development are explicitly excluded from funding considerations. For instance, funds may not be allocated for general administrative costs unrelated to program development or curricular creation. Programs focusing solely on theoretical research without community engagement or practical application of knowledge may also be deemed unfit for funding.

Disqualification scenarios can occur if a university fails to demonstrate an active commitment to food justice issues or does not have a clear strategy for integrating student involvement in community projects related to food access and nutrition. Securing funding in this sector often requires prospective grantees to articulate not just what they plan to teach, but how they intend to connect students with broader conversations about food equity and sovereignty.
