Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OCC TP 1567
The Preschool Development Grant Birth through Five (PDG B-5) Renewal Grant is a discretionary federal grant opportunity jointly offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and its Office of Child Care (OCC), in coordination with the U.S. Department of Education (ED). The core purpose of the renewal grant is to strengthen how states plan, coordinate, and improve early childhood systems serving children from birth to age five, with a strong emphasis on using existing federal, state, and local investments more strategically. Rather than creating a single new early childhood program, the renewal grant is meant to help states align and connect the programs and funding streams they already have so families experience a more coherent system and more children can be reached.
A central goal of PDG B-5 renewal funding is to improve school readiness, particularly for low-income and disadvantaged children, so they enter kindergarten prepared to succeed. The opportunity also highlights the importance of smoother transitions between early care and education settings (such as child care, Head Start, pre-K, and other community-based programs) and the K-12 system, especially elementary school. In practice, this means states are expected to focus on coordination across agencies and sectors, improving how services connect for children and families, and reducing fragmentation that can occur when multiple programs operate separately with different rules, data systems, and eligibility requirements.
The grant places overall responsibility on the state to lead coordination of early childhood funding streams and services within a "mixed delivery system," meaning services are provided through a range of settings and providers across the state (for example, public and private providers, community-based organizations, and school-based programs). States that receive renewal awards may also use a portion of their grant funds to make subgrants to local programs within that mixed delivery system, allowing the state to support on-the-ground efforts that align with statewide goals and priorities.
Key administrative details from the announcement include the funding opportunity title, "Preschool Development Grant Birth through Five (PDG B-5) Renewal Grant," and the funding opportunity number, HHS-2019-ACF-OCC-TP-1567. The award instrument is a grant, and the funding activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services under CFDA number 93.434. Eligible applicants are state governments (with additional eligibility details referenced in the full notice). The opportunity was posted on September 20, 2019, with an application deadline of November 5, 2019, and electronically submitted applications were due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) was $15,000,000, and the agency expected to make about 23 awards.Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OCC TP 1567
