Research & Resources

Use linked guidance and training materials as research starting points, and verify their current status.

Your Resource Library

A resource directory can help locate guidance and educational materials. Open the original publisher's page to confirm authority, revision date, and applicability.

Possible Resource Types

A resource directory may include:

  • USDA Guidance: Official policy memos and guidance documents
  • State Resources: Links to available state requirements and forms
  • Training Materials: Staff training resources
  • Practice Resources: Educational materials that require source review
  • Webinars: Available recorded training sessions

Staying Updated

USDA and state guidance can change. Check the original publisher, revision date, and your sponsor or state agency before relying on a linked resource.
