The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is seeking applicants for a 24-month cooperative agreement to provide training and technical assistance (T/TA) on adoption-sensitive care to hospital-based service providers, doctors, nurses, and staff. The goal is to ensure expectant parents who wish to place a child for adoption have access to appropriately trained staff and comprehensive supports throughout the adoption process. The recipient will utilize the existing Understanding Infant Adoption curriculum, or an equivalent, to deliver the T/TA in accordance with Infant Adoption Awareness Training Program best-practice guidelines. The recipient will also collaborate with ACF's Child Welfare Information Gateway to maintain a public website with the training materials and other adoption resources. Applications are due by August 21, 2024.
The total available funding for this opportunity is $1,000,000 for a single 24-month award. The anticipated start date for the project is September 30, 2024. The recipient will be responsible for providing the T/TA services nationwide under this federal grant program.
