Opportunity Summary:
The Child Care Research Scholars grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2009 ACF OPRE YE 0001) is a discretionary grant program from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF). It is designed to fund dissertation research that focuses on child care policy issues and is carried out in partnership with State Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) lead agencies.

The announcement also notes that funding depends on availability of funds and government interest, which signals that awards are competitive and subject to federal priorities at the time.
The program falls under the Funding Activity Category of Income Security and Social Services and is tied to CFDA number 93.575 (Child Care and Development Block Grant).
