NOTICE OF FUNDING OPPORTUNITY

New Notice of Funding Opportunity for Tribal MIECHV

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is now soliciting applications for the Fiscal Year 2022 Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Grant Program: Development and Implementation Grants. This funding is intended for tribal entities that do not have prior experience with implementing evidence-based home visiting models, performance measurement systems, and continuous quality improvement (CQI) activities.

Funds will support 63-month grants (cooperative agreements) between ACF and federally-recognized Indian tribes (or a consortium of Indian tribes), tribal organizations, or urban Indian organizations to support the following: conduct community needs and readiness assessments; develop the infrastructure needed for planning and implementation of evidence-based maternal, infant, and early childhood home visiting programs; provide high-quality, evidence-based home visiting services to pregnant women and families with young children aged birth to kindergarten entry; implement performance measurement and CQI activities; and engage in activities to strengthen early childhood systems of support for families with young children. The anticipated project start date is July 1, 2022.

This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is intended to reach communities that are underserved by evidence-based home visiting programs designed for American Indian and Alaska Native populations.

Applications are due April 15, 2022. More information is available in the NOFO: https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=335554
