Texas Nurse-Family Partnership (TNFP) Program
The purpose of this grant is to partner with community-based organizations and local agencies across the state to provide Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) home visiting services.
The purpose of TNFP program is to improve maternal and child health, child development, and family economic self-sufficiency Outcomes for participating families.
This funding opportunity invites grant Applications requesting funding for TNFP program. The purpose of the TNFP program is to provide nurse home visiting services to expectant parents in communities across Texas to improve maternal and child health, child development, and family economic self-sufficiency Outcomes for participating families. Using the Nurse-Family Partnership model, the TNFP program works with expectant parents, beginning in early pregnancy and continuing through the child’s second birthday. Nurse home visitors provide parent education and support services to participating families through regular home visits addressing behavioral health, caregiver mental health, early care, safety, and overall well-being.
Families benefit from improved pregnancy Outcomes, improved infant and child health, and increased economic self-sufficiency, with Outcomes including reduced child maltreatment, fewer emergency room visits, healthy developmental indicators, and greater opportunity for parents to complete their education or find or maintain employment.
The TNFP program is entirely voluntary and free-of-charge to enrolled families.
The total amount of federal and State funding available for the TNFP grant program is $134,480,753.00 for the entire Project Period. It is System Agency's intention to make multiple awards to Applicants that successfully demonstrate the ability to provide NurseFamily Partnership programming in the State of Texas.
HHSC estimates the total amount of funding for the TNFP program is $17,930,767.00 per State fiscal year. Annual awards per individual Grant Agreement typically range between $500,000.00 and $2,000,000.00. HHSC estimates the value of the RFA based on the stated annual amount multiplied by five (5) years, plus an additional 50% to allow for any potential increases in funding during the Project Period.
Applicants are strongly cautioned to only apply for the amount of grant funding they can responsibly expend during the Project Period to avoid lapsed funding at the end of the Grant Term. Successful Applications may not be funded to the full extent of Applicants’ Requested Budgets in order to ensure grant funds are available for the broadest possible array of communities and programs.
Texas Coastal Management Program Grant Application
The Commissioner of the Texas General Land Office is soliciting applications for projects that address environmental concerns and promote economic development within the Texas coastal zone. The Coastal Management Program (CMP) Grant Cycle 32 involves a competitive application process for applicants applying for either NOAA-funded or Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act (GOMESA) funded projects.
CMP NOAA Projects
The CMP awards two types of NOAA CZMA funds- §306 administrative funding and §306A coastal resource improvement program funding, with conditions.
CMP GOMESA Projects
These projects are funded entirely with GOMESA money and are meant to address large-scale and construction-based coastal issues. CMP GOMESA projects focused on earth-moving construction, restoration, preservation, or land acquisition will be prioritized. CMP GOMESA can fund public access projects that provide physical conveyance and access to the beach environment or protect and preserve beach and dune habitat. Projects can include dune walkovers, parking areas, restrooms, rinse stations, trailsystems and non-commercial piers.
Access to these structures should be free and open to the public. Structures and activities not directly related to preserving habitat or physically conveying public access, such as buildings, playgrounds, or other similar enhancements, are not eligible for funding. Demolition projects (i.e. removal of existing parking lots, structures, facilities) are not permitted unless the structures are prohibiting public access, are on the public beach easement, or represent a contamination/pollution threat to coastal natural resources. Commercial pier, commercial marina, and wastewater treatment plant construction are not eligible. CMP GOMESA projects can focus on non-construction/earth-moving activities but, in these situations, the work proposed should be large-scale and regional in nature. Most non-construction work will be funded with NOAA money.
Beginning this year, construction/earth-moving CMP GOMESA projects should be submitted in phases instead of in their entirety. This change will ensure timely completion of project goals without the need for contract time extensions and to accommodate extended permitting timelines often seen with coastal construction projects. Construction/earth-moving CMP GOMESA projects should be applied for in accordance with the following phases, as applicable:
