The Prevention Services Evaluation Partnerships: Supporting Adoptive Families funding opportunity is designed to support research aimed at evaluating programs that help adoptive families at risk of disruption or dissolution, potentially leading to foster care placements. This funding opportunity focuses on partnerships between researchers, Title IV-E agencies, and community entities experienced in working with adopted children, foster children, or children in kinship care.
The evaluation will cover topics such as mental health programs or services, substance abuse prevention and treatment programs, in-home parent skill-based programs, and kinship navigator programs. The goal is to assess the effectiveness of services and interventions that support adoptive families and reduce the risk of family breakdowns.
The total estimated program funding is $1.8 million, with individual awards ranging from $900,000 to $1.8 million. The grant period is four years, providing ample time to conduct thorough evaluations.
Eligible applicants include private institutions of higher education, state governments, tribal organizations, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, public institutions, and more. The application deadline is September 8, 2025.
