Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2020 ACF OHS HC 1826
The National Center on Parent, Family and Community Engagement (NC PFCE) funding opportunity (HHS-2020-ACF-OHS-HC-1826) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start (OHS). ACF is making approximately $5,900,000 available under this competition, with an expected single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) up to an award ceiling of $5,900,000. The overall purpose is to fund one organization to operate a national center that strengthens how Head Start and Early Head Start programs engage parents, families, and communities through high-quality training and technical assistance.
At the core of the project is the delivery of training and technical assistance (TTA) that is grounded in current evidence, informed by research, and aligned with best practices. The center is expected to improve professional development outcomes for Head Start and Early Head Start staff and, in turn, improve outcomes for children and families served by these programs. The work is designed to translate what is known from research and practice into practical supports that programs can use, with an emphasis on improving day-to-day implementation and capacity across the Head Start system.
The anticipated impact areas are clearly focused on strengthening family-facing and community-facing work within Head Start and Early Head Start. NC PFCE TTA is intended to support better family outreach and recruitment, improvements in family well-being, deeper family engagement in childrens learning and development, and stronger community partnerships that can wrap around families with services and opportunities. In other words, the center is not only about parent engagement activities, but about helping programs build systems and relationships that support families more holistically and consistently.
Because the scope is complex and national in scale, the awardee is expected to assemble and coordinate a set of knowledgeable subrecipients with expertise spanning multiple fields. The announcement specifically calls out human services, early childhood, social work, mental health, parenting, leadership, and family economic mobility, signaling that OHS expects a multidisciplinary approach. This implies the center must be able to integrate content and strategies across these domains, and deliver them in ways that are usable for Head Start and Early Head Start grantees operating in diverse local contexts.
NC PFCE will operate as one of four national centers within the broader OHS Training and Technical Assistance System. Applicants and stakeholders are directed to related opportunities for the other three national centers: the National Center on Program Management and Fiscal Operations (HHS-2020-ACF-OHS-HC-1827), the National Center on Early Childhood Development, Teaching, and Learning (HHS-2020-ACF-OHS-HC-1828), and the National Center on Health, Behavioral Health, and Safety (HHS-2020-ACF-OHS-HC-1829). This structure matters because it signals coordination expectations across centers and an emphasis on building a coherent national TTA ecosystem rather than operating in isolation.
Eligibility for this opportunity is broad and includes many types of entities: state, county, and local governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations (other than small businesses) and small businesses. The program is associated with CFDA numbers 93.575 and 93.600 and falls under the funding activity category of Income Security and Social Services. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. ET on the closing date listed in the notice (OriginalClosingDate: June 22, 2020), reflecting standard federal submission requirements for competitive discretionary awards.
For additional assistance or operational questions related to the competition, interested applicants were invited to contact the OHS Operations Center by email at OHSTech@reviewops.org.Apply for HHS 2020 ACF OHS HC 1826
