Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2017 ACF OCS ET 1215
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Community Services (OCS), offered a discretionary funding opportunity to support a three-year cooperative agreement focused on strengthening performance management and data systems across the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) network. The project centers on improving how CSBG information is collected, managed, analyzed, and reported at the local, state, and federal levels, with the overall aim of increasing efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability and producing clearer evidence of results for individuals, families, and communities served by CSBG-funded services.
At the heart of the award is continued implementation and support of the CSBG Performance Management Framework, which includes three major components: CSBG Organizational Standards for eligible entities, federal and state accountability measures, and Results Oriented Management and Accountability Next Generation (ROMA NG). Because ROMA NG and the CSBG Annual Report were recently enhanced and revised, the opportunity emphasizes the practical work required to update reporting forms and either modify existing reporting systems or build new ones that can handle the updated requirements. In other words, the recipient is expected to help the national CSBG network move from older reporting approaches to new formats and processes that better reflect the revised framework.
A major responsibility for the cooperative agreement recipient is training and technical assistance (T/TA). The recipient must identify and prioritize the most pressing training needs across the CSBG network and then deliver targeted support to ensure a smooth transition to the new reporting formats. This includes hands-on technical assistance to states in updating or reconfiguring their data systems, helping them submit required information correctly, and improving their ability to use ROMA NG-related data for performance management and reporting. The emphasis is not only on compliance, but also on making the data more useful for decision-making, oversight, and communicating results.
In addition to supporting state and local implementation, the recipient is expected to perform national-level work that ties the whole network together. This includes aggregating data nationally, conducting analysis of that data, and helping develop an annual report to Congress. Over the three-year period, the recipient will also collaborate closely with OCS to support a task force that coordinates implementation of a new annual report process, suggesting that OCS intends the work to be iterative and coordinated across stakeholders rather than a one-time system update.
The opportunity also includes a public transparency and usability component. The recipient will develop tools that state and local CSBG agencies can use to analyze results, and will enhance and maintain a public-facing website that provides access to information on CSBG expenditures, activities, and outcomes. This element is meant to make CSBG performance information easier to find and interpret for grantees, partners, and the general public, while reinforcing accountability and continuous improvement.
Key administrative details include the following: the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement (meaning substantial federal involvement and collaboration is expected rather than a hands-off grant structure). The program falls under the Income Security and Social Services activity category and is associated with CFDA 93.569. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), as well as other eligible entities as clarified in the opportunity’s additional eligibility information. The opportunity number is HHS-2017-ACF-OCS-ET-1215, it was posted June 13, 2017, and applications were due July 24, 2017 (with electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. ET).
