Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Administration for Children and Families – OCC |
| Description: | The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) solicits applications for a National Early Care and Education Workforce Center (the Center). The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to fund a research and technical assistance center that will work to increase recruitment and retainment of a diverse, qualified, and effective workforce across all Early Care and Education (ECE) settings and programs through the provision of technical assistance (TA) at state and local levels and a program of rigorous research that builds the knowledge base and informs TA efforts. The Center will specifically focus on establishing and enhancing career advancement systems and strategies for ECE professionals to pursue credentials and degrees and identifying and encouraging sustainable strategies to increase compensation, provide an adequate compensation, and improve workplace policies (wages, benefits, wellness) in alignment with career advancement.
While this funding opportunity is being released through the Office of Child Care (OCC), this opportunity is a collaborative effort between several offices (OCC, Office of Head Start (OHS), Office of Early Childhood Development (ECD), and ACF’s Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE)). ACF is interested in applicants with demonstrated knowledge of and expertise and experience in conducting rigorous research and providing effective technical assistance on supporting and strengthening the ECE workforce across mixed delivery settings (including family child care homes, child care centers, Head Start programs, and schools).
