Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education
Additional Information on Eligibility: The statutory requirements limit eligibility to national, regional or local adoption agencies that are defined as non-profit private entities. Eligibility is limited to organizations among whose primary purposes are adoption, with a particular emphasis on infant adoption, and that are knowledgeable in all elements of the adoption process and in providing adoption information and referral to pregnant women.

CB will accept applications for projects of national, regional, or local scope. The Federal share of projects of national scope may not exceed $6,000,000 for the 17 month budget period. The Federal share of smaller, regional or local projects may not exceed $1,500,000 in the 17 month budget period. Applicants must clearly indicate whether their proposed project is national, regional or local. CB will consider applications that exceed the upper value of the dollar range specified as "non-responsive" and return them to the applicant without further review. The maximum Federal share of the project is dependent on the scope of the project proposed.
The projects awarded will be for a project period of 17 months. The initial grant award will be for a 17-month budget period. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to compete for, or receive, awards made under this announcement.

Additional Information

Agency Name: Administration for Children and Families
Description: These grants will be available to national, regional, or local adoption organizations for the purpose of training the staff of eligible health centers in providing adoption information and referrals to pregnant women on an equal basis with all other courses of action included in nondirective counseling to pregnant women. The focus of these projects is to increase and maximize the penetration of training delivered to the target population: public and nonprofit private entities that provide health services to pregnant women, including voluntary family planning projects; community health centers, migrant health centers, and centers serving homeless individuals and residents of public housing; and school health clinics. Grant recipients will work collectively to strengthen the curriculum to address identified areas of need.

Section IV.2 General Content and Form Information has been revised as follows:

Under the heading Project Abstract/Summary the instructions were deleted
and replaced with this note:

See
Section IV.2 The Project Description.

Under the heading General Content and Form
Information, the following three paragraphs were deleted:

The application must be
typed, double-spaced, printed on only one side, with at least -inch margins on
each side and 1 inch at the top and bottom, using standard 12-Point fonts (such
as Times New Roman or Courier). All pages must be numbered. Pages will be
removed and not reviewed if spacing, margins and font instructions are not
followed.

All copies of an application
must be submitted in a single package, and a separate package must be submitted
for each funding opportunity. The package must be clearly labeled for the
specific funding opportunity it is addressing.

Because each application will
be duplicated, do not use or include separate covers, binders, clips, tabs,
plastic inserts, maps, brochures, or any other items that cannot be processed
easily on a photocopy machine with an automatic feed. Do not bind, clip,
staple, or fasten in any way separate subsections of the application, including
supporting documentation. Use a clip (not a staple) to securely bind the
application together. Applicants are advised that the copies of the application
submitted, not the original, will be reproduced by the Federal Government for
review.

Under the heading Logic Model, a note to See Section
IV.2 The Project Description was inserted and the following text was
deleted:
A
logic model is a tool that presents the conceptual framework for a proposed
project and explains the linkages among program elements. While there are
many versions of the logic model, they generally summarize the logical
connections among the needs that are the focus of the project, project goals
and objectives, the target population, project inputs (resources), the proposed
activities/processes/outputs directed toward the target population, the expected
short- and long-term outcomes the initiative is designed to achieve, and the
evaluation plan for measuring the extent to which proposed processes and
outcomes actually occur Information on the development of logic models is
available on the Internet at
http://www.uwex.edu/ces/pdande/ or
http://www.extension.iastate.edu/cyfar/capbuilding/outcome/outcome_logicmdir.html .
