FUNDING OPPORTUNITY
This Notice of Funding Opportunity is to solicit proposals for one grant project to support the development and dissemination of best practices to strengthen the capacity of child abuse hotline staff to distinguish between poverty and willful neglect. Funding will support:
- Building a national messaging campaign on how individuals can become a source of support to families in their community by acknowledging the impact of racial inequities and seeking solutions that can help mitigate child safety concerns before they rise to the level of crisis.
- Developing best practices for training and equipping child abuse hotline staff to navigate complex and wide-reaching needs such as understanding the distinction between poverty and willful neglect, implicit bias, addressing social and behavioral health needs, how and when to report child abuse, and providing warm hand offs to local resources whenever possible.
Applicants will need to describe plans for continuous quality improvement, evaluating the effectiveness of proposed strategies in a hotline environment, and disseminating findings widely to relevant audiences.
Application Due Date: March 13, 2023
