Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R06 1074
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start (OHS), is seeking one grantee to deliver Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for families living in Lincoln and Seminole Counties, Oklahoma. The goal is to fund a high-quality, comprehensive early childhood program spanning birth to age five. Applicants may propose a blended model that includes both Head Start (generally preschool-age) and Early Head Start (pregnant people, infants, and toddlers), or they may apply to operate only Head Start or only Early Head Start, depending on their capacity and eligibility.
This is a modified funding opportunity announcement (FOA). The application due date has been changed, and Sections III.2 and IV.2 of the FOA were updated. Because of these revisions, the Grants.gov application package was also updated, and applicants are required to re-download the electronic grant application package before submitting. The FOA also includes specific instructions for uploading three required application files, referenced in Section IV.2, so applicants need to follow the updated file-upload process carefully to avoid submission problems.
The award is expected to provide approximately $1,430,134 per year in federal funding to serve eligible children and families in the two-county service area. The opportunity is a discretionary grant (CFDA 93.600), and ACF anticipates making a single award (Expected Awards: 1), meaning the competition will likely be focused on selecting one organization to operate the services for the area. The listing identifies an award ceiling equal to the annual amount stated above.
Eligibility depends on whether an applicant is applying to operate Head Start, Early Head Start, or both, and the FOA emphasizes that these requirements are not identical. For applicants seeking to operate Head Start only or a combined Head Start and Early Head Start program, eligibility is limited to local public or private nonprofit agencies (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or local for-profit agencies located in the service area, consistent with Section 641(a)(1) of the Head Start Act. These applicants must also demonstrate they meet the statutory requirements to be designated as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency under the Head Start Act.
For applicants seeking to operate Early Head Start only, eligibility is broader in the sense that any public or private nonprofit agency (including community-based and faith-based organizations) or for-profit agency may apply, pursuant to Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act, as long as they are in the service area and can provide Early Head Start services to children and families living there. The FOA also notes that organizations already operating Head Start programs may apply to operate Early Head Start as well, and that faith-based and community organizations are explicitly eligible if they meet the requirements. Faith-based applicants are encouraged to review ACF policy guidance on grants to faith-based organizations.
The FOA makes clear that certain applicants are not allowed: individuals (including sole proprietorships) and foreign entities are ineligible and will be disqualified from competitive review and from funding under this announcement. For technical or process questions, applicants can contact the OHS Operations Center by email at OHSTech@reviewops.org. The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2016-ACF-OHS-CH-R06-1074, administered by ACF-OHS, with an original closing date listed as 2015-12-15 (noting again that the due date was modified in the FOA).Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R06 1074
