Opportunity Summary:
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Head Start (OHS), announced a discretionary grant competition to fund organizations that will operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start programs for eligible children and families in North Dakota. The opportunity is titled "Head Start/Early Head Start Grantee -- Communities in the state of North Dakota" (Funding Opportunity Number: HHS 2021 ACF OHS CH R08 1883) and is tied to CFDA 93.600, which covers Head Start services focused on early childhood development, family well-being, and comprehensive support for low-income families.
The purpose of the grant is to select one or more grantees to deliver Head Start and/or Early Head Start services in up to two separately defined service areas within North Dakota. These service areas are described as individually defined and could change before the official funding opportunity announcement is published, meaning applicants would need to confirm the final geographic boundaries and program expectations once the full announcement is released. The agency anticipates making two awards in total, reflecting the possibility of funding two separate service areas or two distinct program operators.
A wide range of entities are eligible to apply. This includes public-sector applicants such as state, county, city, township, and independent school district governments, as well as public housing authorities and public or state-controlled colleges and universities. Eligible applicants also include federally recognized Native American tribal governments, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education), and for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities). The inclusion of community-based and faith-based organizations is explicitly noted, signaling that organizations rooted in local service delivery and community networks are encouraged to compete alongside traditional public and nonprofit providers.
Key timing details indicate the opportunity record was created on October 28, 2020, with an original application deadline of January 5, 2021. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, which is an important detail for applicants operating in different time zones, including North Dakota. The award ceiling listed for this opportunity is $3,135,269, which represents the maximum expected funding level for an award under this competition (actual award amounts would typically depend on the service area size, funded enrollment, program model, and final federal determinations).
For organizations considering applying or trying to clarify which North Dakota communities are included, the notice provides a direct point of contact: applicants may email the OHS Operations Center at OHSTech@reviewops.org for additional information. This is especially relevant given that the exact service areas were not finalized at the time of the summary and were noted as subject to change until the formal announcement was published.
