Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start (OHS) announces the availability of approximately $6.5 million to be competitively awarded for the purpose of operating a National Center on Program Management and Fiscal Operations (NC PMFO). The NC PMFO will provide training and technical assistance (TTA) that reflects current evidence, is research-informed and promotes best practice. The NC PMFO TTA efforts will lead to improved organizational leadership, governance, program management, and fiscal oversight for grantees providing services to children and families in Head Start and/or Early Head Start programs. Because of the complex work the NC PMFO will conduct, the grantee will be expected to bring together knowledgeable subrecipients within the fields of program management and fiscal operations. The NC PMFO will join three other National Centers, and is part of a large comprehensive OHS Training and Technical Assistance System. Please use the funding opportunity numbers listed to access more information on the other three National Centers: National Center on Parent, Family and Community Engagement (HHS-2020-ACF-OHS-HC-1826), National Center on Early Childhood Development, Teaching, and Learning (HHS-2020-ACF-OHS-HC-1828) and National Center on Health, Behavioral Health, and Safety (HHS-2020-ACF-OHS-HC-1829) Interested applicants may email the OHS Operations Center at OHSTech@reviewops.org for additional information.
