Opportunity Summary:
The Self Sufficiency Research Clearinghouse grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2009 ACF OPRE PD 0082) was released by the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). It is a discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient would be expected to work in close coordination with the federal agency during the project. The core purpose is to fund the design and development of a public-facing website that functions as a clearinghouse for research and evaluation related to low-income employment and family self-sufficiency.
The clearinghouse website is intended to serve as a centralized hub for disseminating high-quality research and evaluation products and for making those materials easier to find, understand, and use by a broad audience. OPRE highlights users that include researchers as well as federal, state, and local administrators and legislators, policy makers, and service providers. In practice, the site would be expected to support the translation of research into decision-making by organizing studies and findings in a way that is accessible to practitioners and government stakeholders, not only to academic audiences.
Substantively, the clearinghouse is focused on research and evaluation concerning Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and other low-income populations, with coverage spanning two major topic areas. The first is self-sufficiency and employment, which commonly includes issues like job entry, job retention, earnings progression, work supports, and employment program effectiveness. The second is family and child well-being, which can include outcomes connected to child development, family stability, health and mental health, parenting supports, safety-net interactions, and how employment and welfare policies affect children and families over time. A secondary goal of the project is to facilitate ongoing dialogue among users about the studies housed in the clearinghouse, signaling that the website is not meant to be a static library but also a platform that supports communication and exchange about the evidence base.
The opportunity anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000. The award ceiling was listed as $500,000 (with no stated award floor), and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the associated CFDA program is 93.647 (Social Services Research and Demonstration). The announcement was posted on April 30, 2009, with an original and current closing date of June 29, 2009, and an archive date of July 29, 2009. Applications submitted through Grants.gov were required to be received by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
Eligibility was broad and open to all types of domestic applicants other than individuals, with explicit inclusion of faith-based and community organizations. Foreign entities were not eligible under this announcement. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, ACF directed inquiries to the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov, and the funding notice referenced an additional information link hosted on the ACF grants site.
