Assistance Payments – Research

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families issued the most recent grant award under Assistance Listing 93.562 (Assistance Payments_Research) on September 30, 1997—nearly three decades ago. No grant awards have been disbursed under this program since 1997, and no recent grant opportunities are documented.

The program's historical portfolio consists of two awards spanning 1996 to 1997, split evenly between Project Grants and Cooperative Agreements. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families was the sole funding agency for both awards. The awards carried negative obligated amounts totaling negative $18,862 in federal dollars, which reflects administrative adjustments or recoveries rather than new funding commitments.

The two awards on record funded ACF research and demonstration projects. One was a Project Grant (90FF0043) awarded September 30, 1997, with a completion date of September 29, 2001. The other was a Cooperative Agreement (90FF0041) awarded September 30, 1996, under the OCSE 96-01 demonstration initiative, with completion scheduled for May 31, 2000.

This program appears inactive for federal grant-making purposes. Nearly three decades have elapsed since the last award, no solicitations are currently posted, and the historical award volume is negligible. Organizations evaluating pursuit under 93.562 should verify current program status directly with the Administration for Children and Families before investing in proposal development.
