The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families awarded a $2,000,000 Cooperative Agreement to the Erikson Institute, a private non-profit graduate school in Chicago, Illinois, to establish the Center for Home-Based Child Care Research. This award is funded through the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CFDA 93.575) program, which is the primary federal mechanism for supporting affordable, high-quality child care nationwide. The Center for Home-Based Child Care Research will leverage Erikson Institute's expertise in early childhood education, research, and professional development to generate insights that inform policies and practices related to home-based child care services. The award, with a period of performance from September 30, 2024 to September 28, 2029, will support research activities, consultation, and the dissemination of findings to key stakeholders, with the goal of improving access to and quality of home-based child care options for families.
