Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation Grant to Rutgers, the 
State University of New Jersey

AGENCY: Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation, ACF, HHS.

ACTION: Award Announcement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Office of Planning, Research 
and Evaluation will award grant funds without competition to Rutgers, 
the State University of New Jersey (National Marriage Project). This 
grant is being awarded for an unsolicited proposal entitled, 
``Cohabitation, Marriage and Child Well-Being: A Cross-National 
Analysis'' that conforms to the applicable program objectives, is 
within the legislative authorities and proposes activities that may be 
lawfully supported through grant mechanisms. The study is unique, 
timely, and highly relevant to ACF's interest in supporting healthy 
marriage. A compilation and analyses of the information from developed 
foreign nations regarding cohabitation is likely to be informative, 
instructive, and beneficial to United States' policymakers and others 
interested in family policy. The National Marriage Project within 
Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, is well-positioned to 
conduct a comparative analysis of cohabitation across developed nations 
and the United States.
    The National Marriage Project at Rutgers University is a 
nonpartisan organization devoted to creating greater pubic awareness 
about the importance of marriage as a child-rearing institution.
    The grant will support a 12-month project at a cost of $86,308 in 
Federal support. The project is also being supported through non-
Federal funding sources.
