Cooperative Agreement 90CA1900

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded a $1.189 million Cooperative Agreement to ICF Incorporated, L.L.C. on September 30, 2026, under the Child Abuse and Neglect Discretionary Activities program (CFDA 93.670).

The National Center on Child Maltreatment Fatality Data Practices and Reporting will facilitate high-quality, timely, and comprehensive child maltreatment fatality data to enable state and jurisdictional agencies to identify children at highest risk, understand systemic factors, and drive system reforms that reduce child maltreatment deaths. The National Center will engage state and jurisdictional child welfare agencies and their partners, including tribes, health professionals, law enforcement, and judicial staff, in creating a common vision and implementing national strategies tailored to realistic state and jurisdiction contexts. The effort addresses current inconsistencies in definitions and reporting practices, along with a lack of coordination and information-sharing among agencies, that hinder effective cross-agency interventions and system reform strategies.

ICF Incorporated, L.L.C., a for-profit consulting and technology services firm headquartered in Reston, Virginia, is the recipient. Work is performed in Virginia. The period of performance runs from September 30, 2026, through September 29, 2031. The award obligated $1,189,796.
