CCDF Tribal grants provide child care funding directly to federally recognized Indian tribes and tribal organizations to expand access to affordable, high-quality child care for low-income families on and near tribal lands. Tribes design their own subsidy programs to reflect the cultural and geographic needs of their communities, and may also fund quality improvement activities at tribal child care centers and family child care homes. Approximately 260 tribal entities receive CCDF tribal grants annually.

Child Care Subsidies — Social Services Block Grant
The Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) provides flexible federal funds to states that may be used, among many purposes, to fund child care services and child welfare programs for low-income families. States have wide discretion in how they use SSBG funds and are not required to report expenditure categories, so the availability of SSBG-funded child care subsidies varies considerably by state and locality. Families should contact their state or county social services agency to learn what SSBG-funded child care assistance may be available in their area.
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
DARPA Research Grants
DARPA funds high-risk, high-reward research that creates revolutionary capabilities for national defense in areas such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, quantum computing, hypersonic systems, and electronic warfare. Program Managers identify specific research challenges and solicit proposals through Broad Agency Announcements. DARPA does not fund basic academic research; projects must have a clear transition path to military application.
