## What the grant funds

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to award one 24-month project to improve access to training and technical assistance (T/TA) on adoption-sensitive care. The T/TA is targeted for hospital-based service providers, doctors, nurses, and staff who provide pregnancy or adoption information and referrals. The recipient will provide T/TA to hospital staff using the existing Understanding Infant Adoption curriculum, or an equivalent, in accordance with Infant Adoption Awareness Training Program best-practice guidelines. Such activities will help ensure that expectant parents who wish to place a child for adoption have access to appropriately trained staff and comprehensive supports throughout the adoption process. The recipient will collaborate with the Children’s Bureau’s clearinghouse, Child Welfare Information Gateway, to maintain a public website with the training materials and other adoption resources. Applicants, according to the Explanatory Statement accompanying Public Law 118-47 associated with the appropriation of these funds, must be a (1) health care-based, nonprofit education organization (2) focused on adoption, that (3) partners with healthcare professionals, hospitals, and community organizations. This NOFO has been modified. Changes were made to the Application Package and HHS Award Agency Contact(s).
