The Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE), within the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Administration for Children and Families (ACF), plans to solicit applications for cooperative agreements under the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Lead Agency Data and Research Capacity: Planning Grants (Phase I). These projects are meant to support partnerships between CCDF Lead Agencies and researchers to develop and improve state, territory, and Tribal data systems and build the capacity of CCDF Lead Agencies to collect, analyze, and use data to guide child care policy decisions and program improvement efforts. Sponsored projects will work in collaboration to: (1) assess the current data and research capacity of the CCDF Lead Agency; (2) develop questions of interest to investigate state, territory, and Tribal child care policies and practices; (3) develop logic models to identify the data needed to address the questions of interest; (4) identify data sources available to answer questions of interest and assess the accessibility of those data; (5) identify possible data sources from other state, territory, Tribal, and local data systems for linking; (6) determine whether there is a need to collect data to answer policy-relevant questions; and (7) address the barriers to collecting, analyzing, and using data to inform child care policy decisions. These projects are intended to build the capacity of CCDF Lead Agencies to use data, including data on children, families, the workforce, and providers that participate in the child care subsidy system, to make data-informed decisions to improve child care policies and practices. These 18-month projects, with one project and budget period, will fund a planning phase to develop a research plan to address questions of interest to the CCDF Lead Agency, including a plan for identifying, linking, and using state, territory, and Tribal data to inform child care policy decisions. These planning projects may be followed by a second competition (Phase II), under a separate Notice of Funding Opportunity, to support execution of the research plans to develop and improve state, territory, and Tribal data systems. Projects must be conducted through partnerships between CCDF Lead Agencies (i.e., states, territories, Tribes, or local subsidy administering agencies) and researchers from institutions of higher education, within the state agency, research organizations, and/or other organizations with proven expertise conducting policy research. Applications are invited from CCDF Lead Agencies, institutions of higher education, research organizations, and other organizations with proven expertise conducting policy research. The research supported by this program should be collaborative from start to finish. The CCDF Lead Agency and their research partners must work together to assess the current data and research capacity of the CCDF Lead Agency and develop a feasible plan for identifying, linking, and using data to address questions of relevance to the CCDF Lead Agency. Sponsored projects will be expected to participate in a Consortium that will meet and communicate regularly to identify opportunities for coordination, such as to share information on facilitators and barriers to identifying and using data to inform child care policies and methods for linking data across systems, and to develop collective expertise and resources for the field. The Consortiums collaboration will support research capacity and learning within individual projects and across award recipients. Funding is subject to availability of funds and the best interests of the federal government.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for research organizations to establish expert panels that will evaluate and curate genomic variants linked to important diseases, enhancing clinical understanding and treatment options.

The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) operates with a foundational mission deeply rooted in promoting civil rights and racial equity while fostering a strengthened justice system. The purpose of this specific solicitation is not for new projects but rather to invite organizations to apply for continuation funding to sustain specific, ongoing initiatives championed by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). This grant mechanism is designed to reinforce previously successful, funded projects, ensuring continuity and stability in efforts aligned with the OJP's core values. The OJP’s strategic priorities clearly define the target beneficiaries and core focus areas. The work is explicitly designed to increase access to justice, support crime victims, and assist individuals impacted by the justice system. Furthermore, significant attention is given to strengthening community safety and protecting the public from both existing and evolving threats. The overarching priorities that guide these initiatives include the advancement of civil rights, the realization of racial equity, and the critical objective of building trust and positive relationships between law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve. Consistent with the principles of effective investment, the solicitation itself represents a strategic priority of maintaining successful, data-driven interventions. The continuation funding model implies a Theory of Change centered on sustained impact, where initial investments that have demonstrated progress are prioritized for ongoing support to achieve long-term systemic change. This approach minimizes administrative churn and focuses resources on maturing initiatives that directly address the core mission. The exclusive nature of the application, limited only to those who received a direct letter from BJA, underscores this commitment to continuity and existing partnership performance. The expected outcomes and measurable results are inherently tied to the continuation of the original project’s goals, with the anticipation of sustained or improved performance in the targeted areas. By supporting the original project guidelines and funding rules, the OJP seeks tangible results such as demonstrably improved access to justice services, quantifiable increases in community-police trust, and measurable progress in advancing civil rights and racial equity within the justice sphere. Ultimately, the outcome is the continued progression toward a safer and more equitable society, driven by BJA initiatives that have already proven their value.
