The Kinship Navigator Programs: Replication and Tribal Adaption grant aims to increase the number and availability of evidence-based Kinship Navigator Programs (KNPs) implemented by state and tribal child welfare agencies. Funded programs must replicate or adapt one of the Title IV-E KNPs that has been rated as promising, supported, or well-supported by the Title IV-E Prevention Services Clearinghouse.

This is a multi-application funding opportunity. You must choose one of the following priority areas:

• State Replication of Kinship Navigator Programs
• Tribal Adaptation of Kinship Navigator Programs

Tribal consortia are encouraged to apply to expand the reach and impact of services for kinship families. Applicants interested in applying under both priority areas must submit a separate application for each.

Eligible organizations are state, local, or tribal child welfare agencies; private nonprofit organizations; higher education institutions; and private nonprofit organizations with experience working with children in foster care or kinship care placements or agreements.

If you're not a state, local, or tribal child welfare agency, provide a letter of support from the state, local, or tribal title IV-E child welfare agency that you'll partner with to carry out the Title IV-E Kinship Navigator Program.
