Opportunity Summary:
The Early Head Start Grantee opportunity for Bradford and Tioga Counties, Pennsylvania is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). The purpose of the funding is to select a single grantee to deliver Early Head Start services for infants and toddlers and to support their families within those two counties. Early Head Start typically focuses on comprehensive early childhood development services, family support, and related health and social service connections for eligible low income families with very young children, with an emphasis on school readiness and family well being from the earliest years.
This announcement was issued with a modification that changed the application deadline to Monday, August 19, 2013, and it notes that awards associated with this competition would be made in Fiscal Year 2014. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was originally posted in early June 2013 (posted June 4, created June 5), and it was later archived on September 18, 2013.
Funding available under the announcement totals an estimated $521,934 per year, with the same figure listed as the award ceiling, meaning the expected annual award amount for the selected applicant is up to $521,934. The award floor is listed as $0, reflecting that the actual awarded amount can depend on the final approved application and federal determinations. Only one award was expected, so applicants were competing for a single grantee slot to serve the Bradford and Tioga County service area.
A wide range of applicant types were eligible to apply, including public and private nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) organizations), community based and faith based organizations that meet the program requirements, certain units of government (state, county, city/township), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, institutions of higher education (public and private), federally recognized tribal governments, and for profit organizations other than small businesses. At the same time, the announcement explicitly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving an award under this funding opportunity. The listing also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the eventual grantee would need to meet applicable non federal share requirements consistent with Head Start/Early Head Start rules.
For applicants seeking details beyond the summary listing, ACF pointed interested parties to the full announcement and offered two support contacts: program related questions could be directed to the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center via email at DRS@headstartinfo.org, while technical issues accessing the announcement or applying electronically could be handled through the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
