About this opportunity
This funding opportunity, announced by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE), seeks applications from recipients of the initial Family Self-Sufficiency Demonstration Development (FSSDD) award to continue building their internal capacity to create and use evidence to strengthen program services and contribute to the evidence base on interventions serving families receiving or eligible for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Eligible applicants must propose a project plan to complete at least one full cycle of the Learn, Innovate, Improve (LI2) process in consultation with a federally funded technical assistance provider. The evaluation criteria will focus on the applicant's ability to formalize, implement, and test the interventions developed during the initial award to determine if they can be implemented with fidelity and demonstrate positive participant outcomes. The application due date is June 18, 2024.
The award ceiling is $200,000 per 12-month budget period, and the awards will be 24-month cooperative agreements with a project start date of September 30, 2024. The funds are intended to support planning and execution of research-related activities, not program services. This opportunity is assigned to the Welfare Reform Research, Evaluations and National Studies grant program (CFDA 93.595) under the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families.
Synopsis
The Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is soliciting applications for the Family Self-Sufficiency Demonstration Development (FSSDD) Phase 2 Awards (note that all instances of the term "continuation" that appear throughout the NOFO refer to Phase 2 of the program). Entities who were awarded the initial award (HHS-2021-ACF-OPRE-PE-1944) are eligible to apply for this current cooperative agreement.During the initial award, recipients conducted foundational evidence capacity-building activities relevant to their interventions. During this continuation award, recipients will continue building on the progress they made during the initial award. The FSSDD Phase 2 award has two main purposes. The first purpose is to support recipients in building their internal evidence capacity to strengthen evidence-informed program services and improve outcomes for the families they serve. The second purpose is for recipients to contribute to the evidence on interventions serving families with children who are eligible for or at risk of becoming eligible for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Recipients will also develop clear plans for sustaining an evidence-driven organizational culture beyond the funding period of the award and will share project learnings and implications with appropriate research, policy, and practice audiences. Recipients are required to work with a federally funded, third-party technical assistance provider throughout the entirety of the award.
