The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is offering this grant to support researchers in conducting secondary analyses of existing data relevant to the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF). This grant is for addressing key questions related to CCDF, which helps low-income families access child care and improves overall quality. Outcomes from these awards are intended to inform policy, program administration, and future research. Topics of particular interest include reducing child care access barriers, consumer education, recruiting and retaining a qualified early care and education (ECE) workforce, stabilizing high-quality care, professional development, and supporting family needs. Data sets like the 2019 National Survey of Early Care and Education and state-level workforce registries, subsidy, and QRIS data are of interest.
