Opportunity Summary:
The Section 1115 Demonstration Grants Projects in Support of the Prisoner Reentry Initiative is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specifically through the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE). The purpose is to support a small number of demonstration projects connected to the broader Prisoner Reentry Initiative (PRI), a federally backed effort authorized under 42 U.S.C. Section 3797w(a). PRI focuses on strengthening communities that experience high numbers of people returning from incarceration, with an overarching aim of reducing recidivism by helping returning individuals secure employment and connect to essential community-based supports. Within that larger reentry framework, OCSE is seeking proposals that relate to the child support program and the role it can play in successful reentry outcomes.
This opportunity is not open competition for all entities. Eligibility is limited to State Title IV-D child support agencies (or the umbrella agencies administering the IV-D program), including eligible U.S. territories and jurisdictions such as the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Even within that group, the competition is further limited to jurisdictions that are already sites for PRI grants funded through the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Labor. Foreign entities are explicitly ineligible. The funding is tied to Child Support Enforcement Research (CFDA 93.564), signaling that projects are expected to test, demonstrate, or evaluate approaches that can inform policy or operational practice, rather than simply expand routine services.
The announcement anticipates a small program: an estimated total of $300,000 in funding with approximately six awards expected. Individual awards are capped at $50,000 (award ceiling), with no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants must plan for a non-federal contribution consistent with the rules in the full announcement. Because the awards are relatively modest, the grants are best understood as targeted demonstrations intended to complement existing PRI investments, support coordination with reentry partners, and generate lessons that can be replicated in other jurisdictions.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number (HHS-2009-ACF-OCSE-FD-0013) and an original/current closing date of May 4, 2009. Applications submitted through Grants.gov had to be received no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, a firm cutoff emphasized in the notice. The opportunity was posted on March 4, 2009, and later archived on June 3, 2009. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov. The full announcement link was provided through the ACF grants site, where additional instructions, required forms, project expectations, and the specific eligibility clarifications in Section III.1 would be found.
