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.
