Opportunity Summary:
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Grant Program is a Fiscal Year 2010 funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), administered by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) through the Office of Family Assistance and the Child Care Bureau. The purpose of the program is to fund 5-year demonstration projects, structured as cooperative agreements, to expand high-quality, evidence-based home visiting services in Tribal communities. The announcement noted a deadline modification: the original closing date of July 26, 2010 was extended to July 28, 2010, with electronic submissions through Grants.gov due no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date.
At its core, the program is designed to help Tribal entities build and sustain a strong home visiting system for pregnant women and families with young children from birth through kindergarten entry. Funding supports several connected activities: conducting community needs assessments; developing the infrastructure needed to plan, adopt, implement, and sustain home visiting models that are backed by evidence; and delivering direct, high-quality home visiting services. The emphasis on infrastructure means grantees are not only expected to provide services, but also to build the organizational capacity, staffing, partnerships, referral pathways, training systems, and performance supports needed to make those services durable over time.
The program targets a wide set of family and community outcomes commonly associated with effective home visiting. These include improving maternal and prenatal health; improving infant health; supporting child health and development; reducing child maltreatment; strengthening parenting practices that contribute to healthy child development; improving school readiness; improving family socio-economic conditions; strengthening coordination and follow-through on referrals to community resources and supports; and reducing injuries, crime, and domestic violence. In addition to these individual and family-level outcomes, ACF and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the partner agencies responsible for implementing early childhood home visiting within HHS, also aim for a broader systems outcome: a coordinated early childhood home visiting system in Tribal communities that can consistently support high-quality, evidence-based practice.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary grant competition under the funding instrument type "Cooperative Agreement," which typically signals substantial federal involvement during the project period (for example, collaboration on implementation approaches, reporting expectations, and continuous improvement). The funding activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, and the program is associated with CFDA number 93.508 (Affordable Care Act Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program). The total estimated funding amount was $3,000,000, with an expectation of approximately 15 awards. Individual awards were anticipated to range from $100,000 (floor) to $500,000 (ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants.
Eligible applicants included Federally recognized Native American tribal governments, Tribal organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments), and other eligible entities as clarified in the full announcement, specifically including consortia of Federally recognized Indian Tribes and Urban Indian Organizations. The eligibility language broadly covers recognized Indian Tribes, bands, nations, or other organized groups or communities, including Alaska Native villages and certain Alaska Native entities as recognized for federal services due to their status. Urban Indian Organizations were described as nonprofit corporate bodies located in urban centers, governed by an urban Indian-controlled board, designed to maximize participation of interested Indian groups and individuals, and legally capable of cooperating with public and private partners to carry out program activities. The notice also clarified that faith-based and community organizations could be eligible if they met the stated requirements, while individuals and foreign entities were not eligible.
Administrative details included a posted date of June 25, 2010, a creation date of July 7, 2010, and an archive date of August 27, 2010.
