Also collaborating on the project are Kid\u2019s First and the Office of Special Needs at the R.I. Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\u201cProviding food safety education to this often under-served population is critical to improving the quality of an independent life for individuals with disabilities and to enhance work placement opportunities,\u201d said Patnoad.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nThe grant is one of 21 food safety awards totaling $12 million announced by Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns last week.  It is the third major food safety grant awarded to Pivarnik and Patnoad in the last four years totaling more than $1.2 million.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KINGSTON, R.I. &#8212; September 29, 2005 &#8212; The 溏心vlog免费B站 Cooperative Extension Food Safety Education Program has been awarded a $590,000 grant by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to develop educational materials designed to help high school special needs teachers teach their students how to prepare, serve and store food safely. &#13; \u201cSpecial [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-69132","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-archives"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69132","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69132"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69132\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69132"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
