Office of Family Assistance; Single-Source Program Expansion 
Supplement

AGENCY: Office of Family Assistance, Administration for Children and 
Families, HHS.

CFDA: 93.575.

    Legislative Authority: Child Care and Development Block Grant 
Act of 1990, as amended.

    Amount of Award: $101,774.00 for one year.
    Project Period: 09/30/2006-09/29/2007.
    Justification for the Exception to Competition: Oregon State 
University (the grantee) is currently conducting data analyses with 
funding from a research grant awarded in FY 2004 to validate 
methodologies used to conduct State market rate surveys on the price 
for child care and early education programs at the State and local 
levels. The supplemental funds will allow the grantee to include 
additional datasets in the ongoing analyses representing sampling 
methodologies that include a more diverse care provider sample, a 
broader geographical coverage, and several additional data collection 
methods, and will in turn make the findings from the project more 
generalizable to States, Tribes and Territories implementing the Child 
Care and Development Fund program.
