Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a discretionary funding competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select an Early Head Start grantee for the Towns of Randolph and Holbrook in Norfolk County, Massachusetts. The purpose is to fund an organization to deliver Early Head Start services to eligible infants and toddlers, pregnant women, and their families who live in those two towns. The program focus sits within the broader federal Head Start mission of promoting healthy development and school readiness, but this particular funding is specifically aimed at the earliest years of life (birth to age 3) and prenatal supports, typically through high quality early learning services combined with family support and connections to health and social services.
ACF planned to make one award under this announcement, with estimated total funding of $724,193 per year. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $724,193, which signals that applicants were expected to propose a program that fits that single annual funding level rather than a wide range of possible budgets. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee would need to meet the applicable Head Start non-federal share rules and document how that match will be provided (commonly through allowable in-kind contributions and/or cash, consistent with program regulations).
A wide range of applicant types were considered eligible. The opportunity was open to public and private entities, including nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status and certain nonprofits without that designation), community based and faith based organizations, and for profit agencies, as well as various government entities and education-related institutions (for example, state and local governments, county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public and state controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities). Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) were also listed as eligible. At the same time, the announcement explicitly states that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships were not eligible to compete for or receive an award under this funding opportunity. Faith based organizations were noted as eligible so long as they meet ACF requirements, and applicants were directed to consult ACF policy guidance on grants to faith based organizations.
From an administrative standpoint, this was a grant (FundingInstrumentType: Grant) in the Income Security and Social Services category, under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). The funding opportunity number is HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R01-0646, and the title is Early Head Start Grantee - Towns of Randolph and Holbrook in Norfolk County, Massachusetts. The opportunity was posted and created on July 23, 2013. Applications were due electronically by October 21, 2013, with the standard federal deadline language indicating submissions had to be received no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date is November 20, 2013, indicating the competition is no longer open.
For prospective applicants at the time, ACF provided several points of contact and information sources. The full announcement was available through an ACF grants link, and applicants needing more details specific to Head Start operations could email the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at DRS@headstartinfo.org. Technical difficulties accessing the full announcement were directed to the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
