Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2018 ACF OPRE PR 1372
The Marriage Strengthening Research and Dissemination Center grant opportunity (HHS-2018-ACF-OPRE-PR-1372) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE). It funds the creation of a single national Center, supported through a cooperative agreement, with the goal of tightening the connection between what research is learning about marriage and family relationships in the United States and what programs are doing on the ground to promote healthy, stable relationships. A key emphasis is ensuring that research and evaluation findings translate into practical, fundable approaches, especially those aligned with the federal Healthy Marriage and Relationship Education (HMRE) program.
The selected grantee is expected to carry out a 60-month plan that serves as a hub, or “nexus,” between basic research, applied research, and program evaluation, and the design and improvement of marriage and relationship education services. In practical terms, the Center is meant to strengthen the evidence base around relationships and families, identify and elevate promising practices that HMRE programs can realistically implement, and help programs and policymakers use emerging evidence to make smarter decisions. The work is not limited to currently married adults; it explicitly includes research and evaluation relevant to relationships more broadly, including current and future relationships among youth.
A major requirement is that the Center focus primarily on economically disadvantaged populations and other groups that are under-studied in the marriage and relationship research landscape. That focus signals an intent to build knowledge that is directly useful for programs serving communities facing higher levels of economic stress and other barriers, and to address gaps where existing evidence may not reflect the experiences of diverse families. Alongside generating and synthesizing knowledge, the Center is expected to build and support capacity for practice-focused research and evaluation, including attention to demographic trends that shape relationship formation and stability. Just as importantly, the Center must translate and disseminate findings, meaning it should produce usable products and communication strategies that help practitioners, evaluators, and decision-makers apply what is learned.
Stakeholder engagement is a core expectation throughout the project period. The Center should actively involve researchers and evaluators as well as frontline practitioners, program administrators, federal program officials, and policymakers so that the work stays relevant to real program needs and constraints. This collaborative, ongoing engagement aligns with the cooperative agreement structure, which typically implies substantial federal involvement in shaping priorities, coordinating dissemination, and ensuring that deliverables stay aligned with ACF/OPRE goals.
In terms of funding and logistics, the opportunity anticipated one award with a maximum award ceiling of $1,000,000. Eligible applicants were broad and included various levels of government, public and private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments and certain tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status), and for-profit organizations (including small businesses).
