Description
The
Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) within the Administration
for Children and Families (ACF) is considering soliciting applications for a
Center for Research on Hispanic Children and Families, 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 low-income Hispanic
families. This research center (hereafter referred to as "Center") would
ideally bring together a diverse, interdisciplinary team of academic and
organizational partners to provide leadership in culturally competent research
that can inform policies concerning low-income Hispanic families and to foster
significant scholarship regarding the needs and experiences of the diverse
Hispanic populations throughout the nation. Through a combination of research,
research capacity building, and communication activities, this Center will
ideally address a range of relevant issues including, but not limited to: a)
definition and measurement of significant characteristics and experiences of
Hispanic individuals, families, and communities; b) identification of barriers
and facilitators of service utilization by Hispanic populations; c) examination
of strategies to promote the social and economic well-being of Hispanic
children and families and to strengthen Hispanic families; d) evaluation of
promising approaches to serving Hispanic populations. The Center will be
expected to develop research products, resources, and a comprehensive
communication plan that aims to build research capacity in the field and to
improve understanding of Hispanic populations in order to inform policy
development and programmatic responses. The Center will focus broadly on
marriage and relationships, fatherhood, child care and early education, and
related issues such as employment and economic mobility of low-income families
and children's healthy development and learning. Key topics of interest will be
identified in the Funding Opportunity Announcement and will include, but are
not limited to, research regarding mental health; substance abuse prevention
and treatment; coordinated services; program evaluation; and rural populations.
This award would be for a 60-month project period with five 12-month budget
periods (i.e., October 2018 - September 2023). For more information about the
current cooperative agreement, please visit https://www.acf.hhs.gov/opre/research/project/center-for-research-on-hispanic-children-families.
