Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R04-0484) 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 award ceiling is also listed as $1,994,999, and the award floor is $0, indicating the agency expects one grant at the stated maximum amount, dependent on application quality and eligibility.
