Opportunity Summary:
The National Resource Center for Child Protective Services (NRCCPS) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2009 ACF ACYF CZ 0015) is a discretionary federal funding announcement issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF). It uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work alongside the award recipient, rather than operating at a distance like a standard grant. The overall aim is to establish and operate a national-level resource center focused specifically on strengthening child protective services and the broader child protection system.
The purpose of the NRCCPS is to provide training and technical assistance as part of the Childrens Bureaus broader Training and Technical Assistance (T/TA) Network. In practical terms, the center is intended to work in coordination with other T/TA Network members to help publicly administered or publicly supported child protection systems build capacity. The target audience includes state, local, and Tribal systems and partners involved in child protection. The center is expected to support these systems in improving how they prevent child abuse and neglect, encourage and manage effective reporting, conduct high-quality assessment and investigation, and deliver appropriate treatment and services. The emphasis is on helping agencies develop, improve, and integrate policies and practices that make the overall system more effective and consistent.
Funding for this opportunity is set at an estimated total of $1,200,000, with an award ceiling of $1,200,000 and an award floor of $0, and ACF anticipates making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The program is listed under CFDA 93.670, Child Abuse and Neglect Discretionary Activities, and is categorized under the federal activity area of Income Security and Social Services.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and private entities that can credibly operate a national resource center function. Eligible applicants include state governments; county, city, township, and special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those categories); small businesses; and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The announcement explicitly allows collaborative efforts and interdisciplinary approaches, but if multiple organizations apply together, they must designate a primary applicant that will be responsible for administering the cooperative agreement. Faith-based and community organizations may apply, while foreign entities are not eligible.
Key dates in the announcement show it was posted and created on February 26, 2009, with an application closing date of April 27, 2009.
