Opportunity Summary:
The Head Start Graduate Student Research grant (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2010 ACF OPRE YR 0018) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF). The purpose of the opportunity is to fund Graduate Student Research Grants that specifically support dissertation research by advanced doctoral students. A central expectation is that the student will conduct the dissertation research in active partnership with Head Start programs and under the guidance of a faculty mentor, reflecting an emphasis on research that is grounded in real program settings and informed by both academic and practitioner perspectives. The funding aligns with the broader public service area of Income Security and Social Services and is connected to CFDA 93.600 (Head Start).
In terms of scale and awards, ACF anticipated making about 6 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000. Individual awards could be as large as $30,000 (the award ceiling), and there was no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants do not need to commit non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award, which can make participation more feasible for students and institutions with limited discretionary resources.
Eligibility is structured so that institutions apply on behalf of students rather than students applying directly. Eligible applicants include U.S. public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and certain nonprofit organizations (including nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education). The announcement specifies that eligible applicants are institutions of higher education in the United States submitting an application on behalf of enrolled doctoral-level students. To administer the grant for the student, the applying institution must be fully accredited by a regional accrediting commission recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council on Post Secondary Accreditation. The notice also indicates that faith-based and community organizations are eligible to apply under the announcement, but individuals and foreign entities are not eligible for awards. The eligibility language also allows a U.S. institution to apply on behalf of its own faculty member who will serve as the mentor/principal investigator for an advanced graduate student in that institution's program, and the student may be either a U.S. citizen or an international (non-U.S. citizen) student, as long as the institutional eligibility conditions are met.
Key dates and submission logistics are clearly defined. The opportunity was posted and created on May 17, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 1, 2010. For electronic submissions through Grants.gov, applications had to be submitted by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
