Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through its Office of Community Services (OCS). It was announced as a competitive cooperative agreement under the Secretary's authority in Section 678A of the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Act. The main purpose is to fund a single national-level project that strengthens how CSBG-funded work is measured and understood by improving the collection, analysis, and sharing of quantitative data and other performance information tied to CSBG activities. Alongside the core data work, the awardee is also expected to analyze the information and develop recommendations about approaches that appear to be effective in reducing or mitigating the effects of poverty.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically means the federal agency anticipates substantial involvement during the project period (for example, collaborating on priorities, deliverables, or dissemination strategies). The program sits in the Income Security and Social Services funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.570 (Community Services Block Grant Discretionary Awards). Only one award was expected, and the estimated total funding was $500,000, with an award ceiling of $500,000 and no stated award floor. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is aimed at organizations that already have strong ties to, and credibility within, the CSBG network and that can demonstrate real expertise in training and technical assistance related to serving low-income people and communities. Eligible applicants include CSBG-eligible entities, statewide or local organizations or associations, and nonprofit organizations, including faith-based organizations, as long as they can show demonstrated expertise in providing training to individuals and organizations on effective methods for addressing the needs of low-income families and communities and also show knowledge of and experience with the Community Services Network. Faith-based and community organizations are explicitly allowed to apply. Foreign entities are not eligible.
Key administrative details included the funding opportunity number (HHS-2009-ACF-OCS-ET-0075) and a posted date of January 21, 2009, with an original and current closing date of March 9, 2009.
