Opportunity Summary:
The Head Start Replacement Grantee Mercer County, New Jersey funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2010-ACF-OHS-CH-R02-0107) is a discretionary grant competition released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF), focused on ensuring uninterrupted Head Start services for eligible children and families in Mercer County, New Jersey. The purpose is specifically to continue the Head Start program services that had previously been delivered by the former grantee, Mercer County Head Start Child Development Center, by selecting a new organization to operate the program locally.
ACF anticipated making one award under this announcement, with an estimated annual funding level of $2,290,827. The award ceiling matches that amount, and the award floor is listed as $0, signaling that awards could vary up to the maximum but the intent here is clearly a full replacement grant at the stated level. The prior grant supported a funded enrollment of 248 children and families, and the replacement applicant would be expected to propose and operate services consistent with maintaining that level of program capacity and comprehensive Head Start requirements. The assistance listing is CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 93.600, Head Start, and the activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services. A cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated as "Yes," meaning applicants should be prepared to meet applicable non-federal share requirements typical of Head Start awards, as detailed in the full announcement.
Eligibility is community-based and broad, but still tied to the capacity to deliver Head Start locally in Mercer County. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based and community organizations) as well as local for-profit organizations. The source data also lists a wide range of government and institutional categories as eligible (such as county and municipal governments, state governments, school districts, public housing authorities, institutions of higher education, tribal governments and tribal organizations, and small businesses), but the narrative eligibility statement emphasizes local organizations that can provide Head Start services in Mercer County. Individuals and foreign entities are explicitly not eligible to apply.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted March 24, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 24, 2010, and an archive date of June 23, 2010. Applications submitted electronically through Grants.gov were required to be submitted no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, which is a strict cutoff applicants would have needed to plan around.
For pre-application materials and further guidance, interested applicants were directed to contact the Office of Head Start (OHS) Operations Center at (866) 796-1591. For technical issues accessing the full announcement or related electronic materials, the ACF Applications Help Desk was provided as a support resource at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
