Opportunity Summary:
The National Center for Community Based Child Abuse Prevention grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-ACYF-CZ-0799) is a discretionary federal funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specifically through ACYF/CB. It uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which means the federal agency expects to be substantially involved with the recipient during the project period rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The overall aim is to stand up a single National Center that serves as the primary national hub for training and technical assistance (T/TA) for the Community Based Child Abuse Prevention (CBCAP) program.
At the core of the announcement is capacity building. The Center is expected to strengthen the ability of CBCAP lead agencies and their partners to carry out CBCAP program requirements effectively and consistently. A major emphasis is placed on helping states and communities adopt, implement, and sustain evidence-informed and evidence-based approaches to preventing child maltreatment. In practical terms, the Center would be positioned to help CBCAP lead agencies improve program design and delivery, make stronger use of research and data, and improve the quality and reach of prevention services intended to reduce child abuse and neglect before it occurs.
The announcement also highlights systems-building responsibilities. Beyond helping individual programs, the Center is expected to support lead agencies as they plan, develop, and improve networks of interdisciplinary, community-based programs and activities. These networks are meant to strengthen and support families, recognizing that maltreatment prevention often depends on coordinated community supports rather than isolated services. The Center is also charged with promoting stronger linkages between CBCAP-funded prevention efforts and child welfare systems, along with other child- and family-serving systems. This emphasis on linkages signals an expectation that prevention strategies be integrated with broader service ecosystems such as public health, early childhood services, education, behavioral health, domestic violence services, housing supports, and other relevant community resources.
Funding is projected at an estimated total of $1.4 million for the competition, with one expected award. The award ceiling is $1.4 million and the floor is $1.2 million, indicating the project is intended to operate at a national scale with significant deliverables. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this opportunity. The activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, and the associated CFDA number is 93.590 (Community Based Child Abuse Prevention Grants), tying the work directly to the CBCAP statutory and programmatic framework.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of domestic entities: state and local governments (including counties, cities/townships, special districts, and independent school districts), federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, public housing/Indian housing authorities, public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) organizations and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), and for-profit organizations other than small businesses as well as small businesses. Collaborative and interdisciplinary applications are explicitly welcomed, but if a collaboration applies, the group must name a primary applicant that will be responsible for administering the cooperative agreement. Faith-based and community organizations are eligible as long as they meet the stated requirements, and they are directed to ACF policy guidance on grants to faith-based organizations. In contrast, individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietor for-profit organizations are not eligible and would be disqualified from competitive review.
