## What the grant funds

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) plans to solicit applications for Secondary Analyses of Head Start and Early Head Start Data grants. These grants aim to support researchers conducting secondary analyses of data to address key questions of relevance to Head Start programs and policies. Since the programs’ inception, Head Start and Early Head Start have engaged in a rigorous program of research providing valuable information for guiding program improvements in Head Start and Early Head Start, as well as for the larger field of early childhood programming and development. Head Start and Early Head Start programs have collaborated with researchers to make significant contributions in program innovation and evaluation, as well as the use of systematic data collection, analysis, and interpretation in program operations. Head Start has attracted an extensive network of highly accomplished partners in research firms, universities, and local programs, who strive to answer critical policy questions and improve the quality of the program with rigorous and relevant research. Analyzing existing data sets may provide researchers an efficient and cost-effective method for answering critical research questions of relevance to the goals and outcomes of Head Start and Early Head Start. Findings from these grants are intended to inform policy, program administration, and future research.
