Children's Bureau Discretionary Grants Available

http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cb/current_initiatives/aeawards.htm

Several separate Children's Bureau funding announcements will be published this year, rather than one consolidated announcement.

The first discretionary grant announcement, released on May 4, announced the availability of funds for tribes, tribal organizations, and migrant programs for community-based child abuse prevention programs. The funds must be used to support effective child abuse prevention activities that include an emphasis on strengthening marriages, reaching out to fathers, program evaluation, and enhancing linkages with the Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention Program State Lead Agency. It is anticipated that three grants will be made (one each for a tribe, tribal organization, and migrant program), and each grant will be $143,000. The deadline for submission of applications is July 5.

Federal Register (www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/index.html). Children's Bureau funding announcements are currently listed in the Federal Register Table of Contents under the heading, "Children and Families Administration." Beginning with FY 2006, ACF will no longer publish grant announcements in the Federal Register.

The Federal Register and Grants.gov websites both have options for requesting automated notification of grant availability. The Federal Register will send its Table of Contents each day; Grants.gov allows users to select multiple categories of funding announcements for automatic notification.

Print copies of funding announcements will not be mailed routinely but will be sent only to those who request them. For print announcements or other information about the grants process, call the ACYF Operations Center at (866) 796-1591.
