Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2023 ACF OHS YT R11 0156
The Tribal Colleges and Universities Head Start Partnership Program Grants is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start (OHS). It is designed to help build or strengthen working partnerships between tribal colleges and universities (TCUs) and local Head Start and Early Head Start programs serving American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) communities. The central goal is workforce-focused: increasing the number of qualified education staff working in AIAN Head Start and Early Head Start programs by supporting partnerships that create clearer, stronger pathways into early childhood education roles.
OHS is making up to $2,000,000 available under this competition, with an expectation of making about three awards. While the total available funding is $2,000,000, the notice also lists an award ceiling of $2,000,000, meaning the maximum possible award amount for a single grantee can be as high as that figure, depending on how OHS structures final awards. The program falls under the funding activity area of Income Security and Social Services and is associated with CFDA number 93.600 (Head Start). Awards will be made through a grant instrument, and applications are submitted electronically.
Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). Even though the stated intent emphasizes TCUs, the eligibility list signals that multiple types of higher education and tribal entities may be able to apply, particularly when they are positioned to support the partnership model and the workforce development outcomes OHS is looking for.
Key dates included in the opportunity are a creation date of May 3, 2023, and an original application closing date of July 10, 2023. Applications submitted electronically were required to be received no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The funding opportunity number is HHS-2023-ACF-OHS-YT-R11-0156, which applicants would use to locate the full announcement package and instructions on the federal grants portal and in official guidance.
In practical terms, the grant is meant to help TCUs and their Head Start partners do more than just coordinate informally. The emphasis on "establishing or enhancing partnerships" suggests OHS is seeking structured collaborations that can produce measurable increases in qualified staff. That can include building early childhood degree or credential pathways aligned with Head Start needs, improving recruitment and retention pipelines for AIAN early childhood educators, and strengthening program-to-college connections so that Head Start staff can access training, credentials, and support systems that lead to recognized qualifications.
