Opportunity Summary:
Projects to Address Child Support Needs of Active Duty Military Members was a FY 2010 discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specifically through the Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE). The program invited a small number of state child support agencies to propose demonstration projects under Section 1115 and Title IV-D of the Social Security Act. The purpose was to test and document approaches that strengthen the Child Support Enforcement program by improving how child support and parenting time services are delivered to military families affected by deployments tied to Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
The central focus of the grant was to support family-centered services for Active Duty service members, as well as National Guard and Reserve members, across the full deployment cycle. That included pre-deployment, mobilization, and reintegration/return. In practical terms, the opportunity aimed to help state IV-D programs design and pilot strategies that address the real-world child support and parenting-time complications that can arise when a parent is called to duty, experiences changes in income, relocates, or faces communication and access barriers during deployment. The demonstrations were intended to add to the knowledge base, meaning applicants were expected not only to provide services but also to generate lessons and evidence that could inform broader improvements in IV-D policy and practice.
Eligibility was tightly limited. Only State Title IV-D agencies (including the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) or the umbrella agencies that house the IV-D program could apply. Individuals and foreign entities were explicitly ineligible. The funding instrument was a grant, categorized under Income Security and Social Services, and tied to the Child Support Enforcement Research CFDA listing (93.564). No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which lowered the barrier for state agencies to participate.
The opportunity anticipated making about three awards nationwide, with an estimated total funding level of $180,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $50,000 (floor) and $60,000 (ceiling), indicating relatively targeted, pilot-scale projects rather than large statewide system overhauls. The notice was posted June 8, 2010, with an application closing date of July 23, 2010. Applications submitted through Grants.gov had to be received by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The funding announcement was later archived on August 22, 2010, reflecting that it was a time-limited competitive opportunity.
