Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Replacement Grantee - Sampson County, North Carolina" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2012-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-0267), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Office of Head Start. It is a discretionary grant intended to select one replacement grantee to continue delivering Early Head Start services for infants and toddlers and their families living in Sampson County, North Carolina. The purpose is not to create a brand-new program model from scratch, but to ensure uninterrupted continuation of services previously provided by the existing grantee, the Sampson County Department of Human Resources, by transitioning the award to a new or competing organization through an open competition.
ACF expected to make a single award, with estimated total funding of $929,936 per year. The award ceiling is also $929,936, with an award floor listed as $0, reflecting that final funding depends on an approvable application and federal award decisions. The current program level to be maintained is a funded enrollment of 72 infants, toddlers, and their families, meaning applicants should be prepared to operate at that scale and demonstrate the capacity to meet Early Head Start performance expectations for that number of participants.
A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants would need to plan for the required non-federal share consistent with Head Start rules and provide documentation showing how that match will be met. The program falls under the Funding Activity Category "Income Security and Social Services" and the CFDA number 93.600 (Head Start), which generally signals that the award is governed by Head Start Act requirements and the Head Start Program Performance Standards, along with applicable federal grants management rules.
Eligibility is broad across government, nonprofit, education, housing, tribal, and certain for-profit entities. Specifically eligible applicants include county, city/township, and state governments; federally recognized tribal governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions); and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. Faith-based and community organizations are explicitly stated as eligible as long as they meet standard eligibility requirements. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive an award under this announcement.
The opportunity was posted on August 3, 2011, with an original and current closing date of October 3, 2011. Applications submitted through Grants.gov were required to be submitted no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. For applicants needing access to the full announcement or experiencing technical problems, ACF provided support through the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
A notable process step in this competition is that interested applicants were instructed to call the OHS Operations Center at (866) 796-1591 to obtain pre-application materials and additional guidance specific to this service area. Those materials were also made available online at www.headstartgrants.org, and the federal listing included an additional information link to the ACF grants site for the full announcement details.
