Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OPRE PR 1563
The Family Strengthening Scholars grant opportunity is a discretionary funding program run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through its Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE). Its main purpose is to fund doctoral dissertation research that can directly inform healthy marriage and responsible fatherhood policy and program decisions. In practical terms, the program is designed to strengthen the pipeline of researchers working on family strengthening topics by supporting high-quality dissertation projects and encouraging close mentoring relationships between faculty advisors and doctoral students.
The focus of the funded work is policy-relevant research on healthy marriage and responsible fatherhood, with an emphasis on producing evidence that decision-makers and program administrators can actually use. OPRE is looking for projects that address significant questions and help clarify what is happening in families and communities, what barriers exist, and what approaches might improve outcomes. A notable priority is research that sheds light on underserved or understudied populations, such as low-income families and minority populations, so that future policies and programs are better grounded in the realities of groups that are often missed or insufficiently represented in prior research.
Methodologically, the opportunity expects rigorous research designs. Applicants can propose primary data collection (for example, surveys, interviews, administrative data gathering, or field-based observational work) and/or secondary data analysis (such as analyses of existing national surveys, administrative datasets, or prior study data). The intent is not only to answer a dissertation question, but also to contribute evidence that can support the development of future intervention research, meaning it can help shape what new programs should test, what program components might matter most, and what outcomes should be measured.
In terms of who can apply, eligibility is broad and includes various levels of government (state, county, city/township, and special districts), public and private institutions of higher education, independent school districts, federally recognized tribal governments and tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, and for-profit organizations (including small businesses). While the research itself is dissertation-based, the organizational eligibility list signals that OPRE can fund awards through many types of applicant institutions that support or administer the proposed research effort.
Key funding details from the notice include an award ceiling of $25,000 per grant and an expectation of about three awards. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 93.086 and was posted with a creation date of May 9, 2019, with an original application deadline of July 8, 2019. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Additional background on OPRE is available on ACFs website, and OPRE also provides information about previous Family Strengthening Scholars projects, which can help applicants understand the types of dissertation topics and research approaches that have been funded in the past.Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OPRE PR 1563
