The second purpose is for recipients to contribute to the evidence on interventions serving families with children who are eligible for or at risk of becoming eligible for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Recipients will also develop clear plans for sustaining an evidence-driven organizational culture beyond the funding period of the award and will share project learnings and implications with appropriate research, policy, and practice audiences.

FSSDD award recipients who participated in the initial awards (HHS-2021-ACF-OPRE-PE-1944) are eligible to apply for the cooperative agreements that are intended to build the capacity of human services organizations to strengthen and evaluate coordinated, client-centered approaches to improving family self-sufficiency.The FSSDD funding has two main purposes. The first purpose is for recipients to contribute to the evidence on interventions serving low-income families with children who are eligible for or at risk of becoming eligible for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).The second purpose is for recipients to increase their internal research and evaluation capacity to develop and implement evidence-informed programming that improves participant outcomes.During the initial awards, recipients conducted foundational evaluation capacity-building activities relevant to their interventions. During this continuation, award recipients will move towards formalizing, implementing, and testing the interventions developed during the initial award to determine if the interventions can be implemented with fidelity and demonstrate promise as evidenced through positive participant outcomes. Recipients will be required to work with a federally funded, third-party technical assistance provider. |
