Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R08 1083
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) comes from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start (OHS). It is a discretionary grant competition to select a single grantee to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Burleigh, Kidder, Logan, Emmons, and McIntosh Counties in North Dakota. The intent is to fund a high-quality, comprehensive early childhood program that can serve children from birth through age five, either by combining both Head Start and Early Head Start funding in one coordinated birth-to-five approach or by proposing services for Head Start only or Early Head Start only, depending on what the applicant is applying to operate.
The announcement notes that the FOA has been modified. The key practical impact is that the application due date changed and portions of the FOA were updated (specifically Sections III.2 and IV.2). Because the Grants.gov application package was revised, applicants are required to re-download the updated electronic grant application package and submit using that version. The FOA also highlights that there are three application files that must be uploaded, and the detailed instructions for how to upload them are located in Section IV.2. Applicants who need technical or process help are directed to contact the OHS Operations Center by email at OHSTech@reviewops.org.
Funding is listed at $1,505,068 per year, with an award ceiling equal to that amount, and ACF expects to make one award. The assistance listing tied to this opportunity is CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 93.600. In plain terms, this is an annual operating grant intended to cover the delivery of Head Start and/or Early Head Start program services across the defined North Dakota service area, including the comprehensive components that typically come with Head Start programs (early learning and development, health and developmental screenings and follow-up, family engagement, and related supports required under the Head Start Program Performance Standards).
Eligibility depends on whether an organization is applying to run Head Start (alone or in combination with Early Head Start) versus applying to run Early Head Start only. For applications that include Head Start (Head Start only or both Head Start and Early Head Start), eligibility is limited to local public or private non-profit 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 (42 U.S.C. 9836(a)(1)). These applicants must also be able to demonstrate that they meet the statutory requirements to be designated as a Head Start and/or Early Head Start agency as defined in the Head Start Act, meaning they must show they have the capacity, governance, and organizational qualifications required to operate the program in compliance with federal law and regulations.
For Early Head Start only applications, eligibility is broader under Section 645A(d) of the Head Start Act (42 U.S.C. 9840A(d)). Public or private non-profit organizations (including faith-based and community-based groups) as well as for-profit organizations in the service area may apply, as long as they can provide Early Head Start services to children and families residing in the service area. The FOA also makes clear that organizations already operating Head Start are eligible to operate Early Head Start, which supports continuity for agencies that want to expand into infant and toddler services. Faith-based organizations are explicitly eligible if they meet the program requirements, and the FOA points them to ACF guidance on grants to faith-based organizations.
The FOA lists a wide range of applicant types that may be eligible in general terms, including various levels of government (state, county, city/township), independent school districts, public and private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), and similar entities, as long as they meet the specific Head Start Act eligibility rules tied to the type of service they propose (Head Start, Early Head Start, or both) and are able to serve the designated counties. At the same time, the FOA clearly excludes individuals (including sole proprietorships) and foreign entities; applications from those parties are not eligible and will be disqualified from competitive review and funding consideration.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2016-ACF-OHS-CH-R08-1083, created on 2015-10-01, with an original closing date listed as 2015-12-15 (while emphasizing that the due date has changed under the modified FOA, so applicants must rely on the updated announcement and revised Grants.gov package for the current deadline and submission instructions). Overall, the competition is designed to ensure continued access to Head Start and/or Early Head Start services in these North Dakota counties by selecting an organization with the capacity to deliver comprehensive, compliant, and high-quality programming to eligible children and families.Apply for HHS 2016 ACF OHS CH R08 1083
