Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled National Data Archive on Child Abuse and Neglect (NDACAN), is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF). It was released to fund a single cooperative agreement intended to keep NDACAN operating and to continue the core work of processing, curating, and securely housing high-quality child welfare and child maltreatment datasets. The broader aim is practical rather than purely technical: it supports the ongoing availability and usability of archived data so researchers, policymakers, and practitioners can analyze reliable information to better understand child abuse and neglect and improve child welfare systems.
At the center of the announcement is continuity of operations. NDACAN is not being created from scratch under this award; instead, the award is meant to maintain and strengthen an existing national data archive function. The work described emphasizes activities that make datasets usable, which typically includes receiving data, checking and improving data quality, documenting files so other users can correctly interpret them, and managing the infrastructure needed to store and distribute data responsibly. The notice also highlights that the archive supports the use of data, meaning the funded entity is expected to do more than just store files; it should facilitate access and analytic use, consistent with privacy and data governance requirements.
The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which signals that ACF expects to have substantial involvement during the project period compared with a standard grant. In a cooperative agreement, the recipient still carries out the day-to-day work, but the federal agency is typically more engaged in shaping priorities, coordinating with other federal data activities, and ensuring the archive aligns with agency needs. The funding activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, and the relevant CFDA number is 93.670 (Child Abuse and Neglect Discretionary Activities), placing the award within a child welfare and protective services policy context.
A key eligibility theme is demonstrated experience with major federal child welfare datasets. Applicants are expected to have experience archiving and analyzing AFCARS and NCANDS, which are described as the two primary databases used by the Children’s Bureau. Applicants also should have a strong working knowledge of ACF data collection activities related to the archive. While collaborative and interdisciplinary approaches are allowed, the application must clearly identify a primary applicant that will be accountable for administering the grant. The eligible applicant types are broad and include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. Faith-based and community organizations that otherwise meet eligibility requirements are explicitly included. Individuals and foreign entities are explicitly ineligible.
Financially, the announcement anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $675,000. The award ceiling is also $675,000, and the award floor is listed as $0, indicating the agency set a maximum but did not specify a minimum award amount. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for applicants and places the full budget responsibility on the federal award up to the ceiling amount.
In terms of timing and submission logistics, the opportunity was posted on June 9, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 9, 2010. For electronic submissions through Grants.gov, applications had to be submitted no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date is September 8, 2010, which reflects that the solicitation is no longer active and is retained for record and reference.
For applicants needing the full announcement or experiencing access issues, the notice points to an ACF-hosted link for full details and provides an applications help desk contact (appsupport@acf.hhs.gov). Overall, the opportunity is best understood as support for the national infrastructure that preserves, improves, documents, and enables responsible use of major child welfare datasets, with a clear expectation that the awardee already has deep technical and domain experience with AFCARS, NCANDS, and ACF data practices.
