Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2017 ACF ACYF CA 1234
The National Quality Improvement Center for Preventive Services and Interventions in Indian Country is a federal discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), within ACYF/Children's Bureau. It is designed to fund a single, 5-year cooperative agreement to create and operate a National Quality Improvement Center (QIC) focused specifically on preventing and addressing child abuse and neglect in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. The central idea is to build a national hub that can strengthen what is known about what works in tribal contexts, help sites put promising approaches into practice, and then share lessons in a way that other tribal child welfare systems can realistically use or adapt.
The QIC's role is both practical and knowledge-building. On the practice side, the QIC is expected to support two to five project sites with hands-on technical assistance and implementation assistance as they adopt, implement, and assess prevention and intervention models that show promise for reducing child maltreatment. On the learning side, the QIC will gather existing knowledge, generate new knowledge through the work of the project sites, and disseminate findings back to the field. The emphasis is on strengths-based, culturally relevant, trauma-informed, and preventive services and interventions, recognizing that effective responses in Indian Country must fit community values, reflect local culture, and address trauma and historical context while reinforcing protective factors and family stability.
The opportunity lays out three core objectives for the QIC. First, it aims to promote awareness and increased use of culturally relevant child maltreatment prevention and intervention services that are supported by practice-based evidence within tribal child welfare systems. Second, it seeks to improve holistic services for children and families who have experienced abuse or neglect or who are at risk, pointing toward coordinated, family-centered supports rather than narrow or purely crisis-driven responses. Third, it requires dissemination and knowledge transfer so that what is learned through the QIC and its project sites does not stay local, but is translated into usable guidance, tools, and strategies for the broader child welfare and prevention field, especially for tribal programs.
In terms of outcomes and broader goals, the QIC is intended to identify, implement, and spread culturally relevant services and interventions in AI/AN communities, while also strengthening the ability of AI/AN families to build skills, capacities, and protective factors that support healthy development and reduce the likelihood of maltreatment. The grant language highlights keeping families intact when safe and appropriate, reflecting a preventive orientation that prioritizes stability, early support, and community-driven solutions rather than relying primarily on downstream responses after harm has occurred.
Administratively, this funding opportunity is listed as HHS 2017 ACF ACYF CA 1234, under CFDA 93.670, and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, meaning the federal agency is expected to have substantial involvement during the project period compared to a standard grant. The application window in the source information shows a creation date of November 21, 2016, with an original closing date of February 22, 2017 (with electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. ET). The award ceiling is $1,000,000, and the opportunity anticipates making one award, consistent with the plan to establish a single national QIC that then supports multiple local project sites.
Eligibility is broad and includes various levels of government (state, county, city/township, special districts), independent school districts, public and private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments, tribal organizations, public/Indian housing authorities, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status, and for-profit entities including small businesses. Even with broad eligibility, the mission and design of the program clearly center AI/AN communities and tribal child welfare contexts, so competitive applicants would typically be those with strong partnerships, demonstrated cultural competence, experience in child welfare prevention/intervention work, and the capacity to deliver intensive implementation support while conducting meaningful assessment and disseminating results nationally.Apply for HHS 2017 ACF ACYF CA 1234
