This is a Budget Template (Appendix F) for a state contract opportunity managed by Delaware's Division of Public Health (DPH) in conjunction with the Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program. The project involves selecting a vendor to build capacity of the Parents as Teachers (PAT) program by targeting high-risk communities identified in the MIECHV Needs Assessment. The PAT program is a parent education and support initiative that uses home visiting as its primary implementation method. The budget template requires contractors to present deliverables and activities as defined in the project plan (Appendix B), with successful completion and approval of these deliverables triggering payment. The contract covers an initial two-year period with costs broken down annually.

The budget template requires submission of itemized costs across five primary categories: Personnel (including staff members, percentage time allocation, role descriptions, salary amounts, and fringe benefits listed separately); Travel (with in-state and out-of-state costs separated); Contractual costs (including contract purpose and project support documentation); Supplies (program and office supplies); and Other program costs (non-categorical costs including training and professional development). Funding for this initiative derives from the federal MIECHV grant issued by the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and administered by DPH. The project represents Delaware's collaborative effort to implement evidence-based home visiting programs, with five models currently operating statewide: Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up (ABC), Early Head Start (EHS), Healthy Families America (HFA), Nurse Family Partnership (NFP), and Parents as Teachers (PAT).
