The Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) is seeking applications for the Tribal Early Childhood and Family Economic Well-Being Research Center (TRC). This initiative aims to fund a research center that focuses on relevant and actionable research, evaluation, and and measurement for child care, Head Start/Early Head Start, and family economic well-being programs within Native American communities. The TRC will conduct research, facilitate information sharing, and serve as a hub for peer exchange, collaborating with tribal leaders, program administrators, and federal staff. The project is a five-year cooperative agreement with an expected total program funding of $1,000,000 for one award, with an award ceiling of $1,000,000 for the first budget period. Applications are due by December 1, 2025, and require SAM.gov and Grants.gov registrations. Eligibility is unrestricted, but individuals and foreign entities are not eligible. The application must include a project narrative, budget, and various attachments, adhering to specific formatting and content requirements. The selection process considers merit review, service to underserved populations, geographic distribution, past performance, and compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws. Funding is subject to congressional appropriation and satisfactory progress.
