Child Care Policy Research Partnership Grants
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) plans to solicit applications for Child Care Policy Research Partnership grants.
These four-year cooperative agreements will be conducted through partnerships between CCDF Lead Agencies in states, territories, or tribes and researchers from institutions
of higher education, research organizations, and other eligible organizations.
Applications are invited from CCDF Lead Agencies, institutions of higher education, research organizations, and other organizations with proven expertise conducting policy research.
The work supported by this grant program should be collaborative from start to finish.
Specifically, the CCDF Lead Agency and their research partners need to work together throughout all phases of the project.
Child Care Policy Research Partnership grantees will be expected to pursue research questions of national and state relevance.
Therefore, grantees are encouraged to include other local and state child care stakeholders.
These projects are intended to add to our knowledge about the efficacy of child care subsidy policies and quality improvement initiatives that support employment and self-sufficiency outcomes for parents, increase low-income families’ access to high quality child care programs, and promote positive learning and school readiness outcomes for children.
Examples of priority questions include, but are not limited to:
effects of policy changes since the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act of 2014, supports for family child care providers, consumer education, licensing and monitoring, and efforts to build the supply of high-quality care.
Funding is subject to availability of funds and the best interests of the federal government.
