The Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE), within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), is soliciting applications for the Center for Research on Hispanic Children and Families (HHS-2023-ACF-OPRE-PH-0031). This 5-year cooperative agreement will fund a research center to lead and support investigation of the needs of Hispanic populations served by ACF and promising approaches to promote social and economic well-being among Hispanic children and families with low incomes. This research center will bring together an interdisciplinary team of academic, organizational, and community-based partners to provide leadership in culturally competent research that can inform policies concerning Hispanic families with low-incomes and to foster significant scholarship regarding the needs and experiences of the diverse Hispanic populations throughout the nation.
ACF is particularly interested in research examining how Hispanic populations access, experience, and benefit from ACF programs, systematic differences in those experiences, and factors associated with any differences. Applicants that have a history of research as a primary organizational activity are encouraged to apply.
