The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), the Office of Head Start (OHS) announces the availability of $10,200,000 to be competitively awarded for the purpose of operating a National Center on Early Childhood Development, Teaching, and Learning (NC DTL). The NC DTL will provide Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) that reflects current evidence, is research-informed, and promotes best practices. The NC DTL TTA efforts will improve early childhood development and promote school readiness through effective teaching, home visiting, and inclusive practices that support children who may experience a broad range of adversity. Because of the complex work the NC DTL will conduct, the recipient will be expected to bring together knowledgeable partners within the field of early childhood development, teaching, and learning.
The NC DTL will join three other National Centers, and is part of a large comprehensive OHS TTA 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 Program Management and Fiscal Operations (HHS-2020-ACF-OHS-HC-1827)
National Center on Health, Behavioral Health, and Safety (HHS-2020-ACF-OHS-HC-1829)
