Opportunity Information: Apply for PREA YE 24 001

This funding opportunity, titled "Replacement grant for 90YE0281 Public Policy Inc. Secondary Analyses of Child Care and Early Education Data," is a very narrow, administrative replacement action tied to a prior award (grant number 90YE0281). The purpose of the announcement is not to open a new competition or expand eligibility, but to allow the federal government to continue the same work under a new organizational entity after an ownership change. In other words, the project itself is continuing, but the recipient organization name or ownership structure has changed, so the agency is issuing a replacement grant to maintain continuity of the funded activity.

The opportunity is issued by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specifically the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE), under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is listed as a discretionary opportunity and will be made using a cooperative agreement funding instrument. A cooperative agreement typically indicates that the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project during the period of performance, such as collaboration on work planning, review of deliverables, or ongoing coordination, rather than simply providing funds and receiving final reports.

The funded work area is categorized under "Income Security and Social Services" and is associated with CFDA number 93.575. The project focus, as reflected in the title, centers on secondary analyses of child care and early education data. Secondary analysis generally refers to analyzing existing datasets rather than collecting new data, often to answer policy-relevant questions, assess program trends, or generate evidence to inform decision-making. While the announcement text provided does not include a detailed scope of work, the title indicates the analyses relate to child care and early education policy and programs and are intended to support research and evaluation objectives aligned with OPRE's mission.

Eligibility is restricted to a single applicant. Only Public Policy Associates LLC is eligible to apply for this announcement. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," but the description makes clear that this is effectively a sole-source, replacement mechanism tied to the original award and the organizational ownership change. The opportunity anticipates one award in total.

Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number PREA YE 24 001, an original closing date of June 30, 2024, and a total award ceiling of $99,885. The opportunity was created on May 6, 2024. In practical terms, these details indicate a small, single-award action designed to transfer or continue the project under the updated organizational ownership, keeping the research work on secondary analyses of child care and early education data funded without interruption.
