Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF)

Preschool Development Grant Birth through Five (PDG B-5) SMART Grant: Strategic Measurement, Analytics, and Results using Technology is sponsored by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF). This funding opportunity supports states and territories in making targeted, one-year investments in statewide early care and education (ECE) technology and analytic data infrastructure. The goal is to advance PDG B-5 purposes, including strengthening coordination across the mixed-delivery system, improving program quality and access, supporting informed family choice, and using data to better understand and address the needs of children from birth through age five. Applicants will propose a focused, feasible investment that strengthens the state's ability to generate actionable information for decision-making and produces a measurable result by the end of the project period.
