Opportunity Summary:
The Data Center for Family Self Sufficiency grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OPRE-PD-0548) was issued by the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). It is a discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal project office expects to be actively involved with the recipient during planning and implementation rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The program sits within the Income Security and Social Services activity area and is tied to CFDA 93.647, Social Services Research and Demonstration.
The purpose of the award is to create and operate a Data Center focused on family self-sufficiency research and related program activities. The Center is intended to function as a central hub that helps build and strengthen state and institutional capacity to collect, link, and, when needed, store data. A core emphasis is improving access to high-quality, usable data for practitioners and policymakers working in family self-sufficiency programs, as well as for researchers studying what helps families achieve economic stability. In practical terms, the Center would be positioned to support better data infrastructure and data partnerships so that program decisions and research can be based on more complete and reliable information, including linked administrative datasets where appropriate.
While the Center is expected to work independently, it is also expected to collaborate with an affiliated Family Self Sufficiency and Stability Research Network. That structure signals that the Data Center is not meant to be a stand-alone technical project; it is meant to plug into a broader community of practice and research so that data development, governance, and access tools are aligned with real-world research questions and program needs. The overall vision is a coordinated ecosystem: the Network helps shape and generate research priorities and learning agendas, and the Data Center helps make the underlying data assets and data capacity strong enough to support that work.
Funding was set for a single award, with an estimated total of $500,000. The anticipated award range was listed with a floor of $400,000 and a ceiling of $500,000. No cost sharing or matching was required. Eligible applicants were limited to institutions of higher education, specifically public and state-controlled universities and colleges as well as private institutions of higher education, which reflects the technical and governance-heavy nature of the work (data linkage, stewardship, secure access, and capacity building are often areas where universities have established expertise and infrastructure).
Key dates for the opportunity were as follows: it was posted on February 19, 2013, and applications were due by May 20, 2013, with electronic submissions required by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity archive date was June 19, 2013. The funding announcement also provided a federal contact for help accessing the full announcement or addressing questions: Matthew Borus at Matthew.Borus@acf.hhs.gov. The original listing referenced an additional information link hosted on the ACF grants site for applicants seeking the full FOA details, requirements, and application instructions.
