National Center for Marriage Research: The U.S. has undergone massive shifts in patterns of marriage and childbearing and continues to experience social changes relating to family structure, demographics, income, and the social and behavioral functioning of individuals and families. The role and strategies of government and other organizations in addressing these issues is also adapting and evolving. In order to successfully promote the health and welfare of the American people, HHS needs to have timely access to high-quality, relevant research on marriage, including analyses of the causes and consequences of changes in marriage and childbearing patterns over the past decades; the impact of marriage and family structure on the health and well-being of individuals, families, children and communities; and the policy and program interventions designed to support development of healthy marriages. To further these efforts and inform the public, HHS is soliciting applications from university-based institutions for a cooperative agreement. The Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) expects to fund the National Center for Marriage Research for a period of five (5) years. The first year of funding for a National Center for Marriage Research will be approximately $900,000 (combined direct and indirect funding). Subject to the availability of future funds we expect to fund a second year at $900,000; a third year at $900,000; a fourth year at $850,000 and a fifth and final year at $800,000 for total federal funding of $4.35 million over the five year period for the Center with increasing matching requirements from non-federal sources over the term of the agreement. No federal funding is anticipated beyond the fifth year. In addition to conducting and disseminating high-quality, policy-relevant research, building research capacity and networks-supporting faculty research and faculty training; enhancing campus-wide awareness of issues related to marriage and family structure; and supporting and mentoring students in careers related to marriage and family research and policy-is a central purpose of the National Center for Marriage Research. The goals of the National Center for Marriage Research are to 1) improve our understanding of both the effects of marriage on the health and well-being of children, adults, families and communities; and the effects of programmatic interventions; 2) provide a core of multi-disciplinary researchers, as well as a network of scholars who focus their research on marriage and family structure, 3) develop and train future social science researchers whose work focuses on marriage and family structure, 4) improve research methods and data to permit a fuller understanding of the effects of family structure in various domains across the life span; and 5) establish and maintain a network for the active dissemination of findings to the policy and research communities as well as program practitioners through newsletters, working papers, special reports, conferences, and briefings.
