Opportunity Summary:
The Responsible Fatherhood Research Network grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OPRE-PR-0611) is a discretionary funding announcement from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE), to create and operate a national research network focused on strengthening knowledge about responsible fatherhood. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning ACF/OPRE would expect to be actively involved with the recipient in shaping priorities and overseeing progress rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. A single lead organization would be selected to manage the Network and carry out a multi-year plan.
The central purpose of the Network is to expand and share what works in promoting positive father involvement and good parenting practices, with a strong emphasis on building research and practice capacity at the same time. The lead entity would be responsible for supporting the development, testing, and evaluation of evidence-based or theory-based interventions that aim to increase constructive father engagement in children’s lives. Just as important, the Network is meant to serve as a hub that brings together researchers and practitioners so that learning moves in both directions: research can be informed by real program experience, and program design can be strengthened by the best available evidence.
A key priority is a primary focus on economically disadvantaged fathers and families, as well as other under-studied populations. In practical terms, this signals that the Network’s agenda should not only cover mainstream fatherhood topics, but also address gaps in the evidence base for groups that are less represented in traditional research and evaluation. The Network is also expected to improve collaboration and knowledge sharing among multidisciplinary researchers and to strengthen connections among investigators, frontline practitioners, program administrators, and policymakers who use this information to make decisions about services and funding.
Another major expectation is the creation and dissemination of research products and resources. Rather than limiting outputs to academic publications, the Network is intended to produce materials that actively facilitate knowledge transfer across communities of practice, including tools, summaries, and other products that help stakeholders interpret findings and apply them in real-world settings. Overall, the opportunity is designed to build a sustainable infrastructure for responsible fatherhood research and learning, while accelerating the field’s ability to design, evaluate, and improve interventions that increase positive father involvement.
Funding for the opportunity is estimated at $800,000 in total, with an anticipated single award. The award ceiling is $800,000 and the floor is $700,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA number associated with this program is 93.086 (Healthy Marriage Promotion and Responsible Fatherhood Grants). The application was originally posted June 7, 2013, with an application deadline of August 2, 2013, by 11:59 p.m. ET for electronic submissions, and an archive date of September 2, 2013.
Eligibility is restricted to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. In addition, applicants must provide proof of a current, valid Federalwide Assurance (FWA) number issued by the HHS Office for Human Research Protections, reflecting compliance with federal human subjects protections. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible. Applicants needing help accessing the announcement were directed to the ACF Applications Help Desk (appsupport@acf.hhs.gov).
