Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-0395) is a discretionary grant announced by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select a single organization to operate an Early Head Start (EHS) program serving infants, toddlers, and their families in Autauga, Chilton, Elmore, and Shelby Counties, Alabama. The award is intended to support comprehensive early childhood services for eligible children from birth to age three and to strengthen families through the full Early Head Start program model, which typically includes high-quality early learning and development services, family support, health and developmental screenings and follow-up, and strong connections to community resources.
ACF expects to make one award under this announcement, with an estimated total annual funding amount of $1,238,222. The award ceiling matches that annual amount ($1,238,222), and the award floor is listed as $0, indicating ACF did not set a minimum award size beyond what is needed to support the approved project. The activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, and the assistance listing (CFDA) associated with the program is 93.600 (Head Start), which is the federal program authority that includes Early Head Start.
A broad range of applicant types are eligible, reflecting the community-based nature of Early Head Start delivery. Eligible applicants include public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) entities other than institutions of higher education), faith-based and community-based organizations that meet the requirements, for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities), tribal governments that are federally recognized, and various governmental entities such as state, county, city/township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and public/state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education. At the same time, the announcement explicitly notes that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive an award under this competition.
The grant requires cost sharing or matching, meaning the selected grantee must provide non-federal resources toward the total project cost in accordance with Head Start funding rules and the specific terms of the award. Applicants should be prepared to document how they will meet the match requirement and to demonstrate the fiscal and operational capacity to run a federally funded Early Head Start program consistent with program performance standards.
The opportunity was posted and created on May 16, 2012, with an application closing date of August 14, 2012. Electronically submitted applications were required to be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
