Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Section 1115 Demonstration Projects in Support of the PAID Initiative," was released by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) through the Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) as a FY 2009 discretionary grant program. The purpose is to fund a small number of state-run demonstration projects that expand practical knowledge and improve outcomes under the Child Support Enforcement Program authorized by Section 1115 and Title IV-D of the Social Security Act. OCSE is specifically looking for projects that support its PAID Initiative, short for "Project to Avoid Increasing Delinquencies," which focuses on preventing growth in child support arrears and related payment problems before they become entrenched.
Only a narrow group of applicants can apply. Eligibility is limited to State Title IV-D child support agencies (including the District of Columbia and U.S. territories such as Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) or the larger umbrella agencies that house those IV-D programs. Foreign entities are explicitly ineligible. The program is structured as a grant, and it falls under the public service area of Income Security and Social Services. The applicable CFDA listing is 93.564, which covers Child Support Enforcement Research.
Funding is modest and targeted, with an estimated total program amount of $300,000 and an expectation of about three awards. Individual awards are anticipated to range from $75,000 to $100,000, with $100,000 listed as the ceiling and $75,000 as the floor. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should expect to contribute non-federal resources as part of the project budget (the announcement notes the requirement, while the full details are provided in the full solicitation).
Key dates are important for compliance. The opportunity was posted March 3, 2009, with an application deadline of May 4, 2009. Applications submitted through Grants.gov had to be received no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The opportunity was 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.
In practical terms, OCSE is using these Section 1115 demonstration funds to encourage states to test and document approaches that can reduce the risk of child support cases becoming delinquent, improve payment regularity, and strengthen program effectiveness. Because the awards are limited in number and designed as demonstrations, the emphasis is on generating lessons that can be shared and potentially replicated across other state IV-D programs, not simply on routine service delivery. The official full announcement and requirements were provided through an ACF grants webpage associated with funding opportunity number HHS-2009-ACF-OCSE-FD-0052.
