Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OPRE YE 1380
The Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Implementation Research and Evaluation Grants (Phase II/Cohort 2) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specifically the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE). It is designed to move a small group of state or territory Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Lead Agencies from evaluation planning into full implementation of a research and evaluation project focused on changes tied to the CCDBG Act of 2014. In other words, this Phase II grant is meant to fund the "do the study" stage after the earlier planning stage helped agencies design what they would evaluate and how.
Eligibility is limited in a very specific way. Only the CCDF Lead Agencies that previously received OPRE-funded planning grants under the Phase I/Cohort 2 effort (the May 2017 cooperative agreements awarded under HHS-2017-ACF-OPRE-YE-1217) are eligible to apply for Phase II funding. OPRE indicates that up to three awards may be made, and selections are competitive based on the criteria laid out in the funding opportunity announcement. This structure reflects the program's intent to build on prior federal investment in evaluation planning rather than opening the competition broadly to all applicants.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which signals a more hands-on partnership between the federal government and the grantee than a typical grant. Under the cooperative agreement model, OPRE generally expects to have substantial involvement in key aspects of the work, such as refining research questions, confirming methodological rigor, ensuring appropriate documentation, and supporting dissemination approaches. The central expectation is that each participating Lead Agency will work closely with a research partner, either internal to the agency or an external organization, to refine the Phase I evaluation plan and then carry out the research project in a way that produces credible, usable findings.
Substantively, the research focus is on implementation: how specific policies and initiatives are carried out in practice, and how those efforts align with the goals of the CCDBG Act of 2014. Grantees are expected to clearly document the policy or policies being evaluated, define what implementation or policy change looks like in measurable terms, and specify how they will track progress over time. The grant emphasizes practical measurement of policy implementation, not just describing a policy on paper. Just as important, applicants must explain how the results will be used for future policy and planning decisions, reinforcing that the work should feed directly into program improvement, decision-making, and longer-term strategy for child care systems.
In terms of funding and timing, the opportunity has an award ceiling of $250,000, with an anticipated total of three awards. The project period is 48 months, organized into four 12-month budget periods, which is meant to give grantees enough time to finalize study design details, collect and analyze data, and translate findings into actionable insights. The funding opportunity number is HHS 2019 ACF OPRE YE 1380, and it falls under CFDA 93.575 in the Income Security and Social Services activity category. The opportunity was posted on June 15, 2018, with an application deadline of August 14, 2018, and electronically submitted applications were due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date.
Overall, this FOA is a targeted continuation award competition intended to strengthen evidence about how CCDBG-related reforms are implemented on the ground. By funding a small set of Lead Agencies that already completed structured planning, OPRE is aiming for evaluations that are methodologically sound, tightly connected to policy decisions, and ready to inform next steps in CCDF administration and child care policy.Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OPRE YE 1380
