Abstract: The Children's Bureau seeks approval to collect information for the Regional Partnership Grants to Increase the Well-being of and Improve Permanency Outcomes for Children Affected by Substance Abuse (i.e., Regional Partnership Grants Program or "RPG") Cross-Site Evaluation and Evaluation-Related Technical Assistance project (the "RPG Cross-Site Evaluation"). The overall objective of the RPG Cross-Site Evaluation is to plan, develop, and implement a rigorous national cross-site evaluation of the RPG Grant Program, provide legislatively-mandated performance measurement, and furnish evaluation-related technical assistance to the grantees to improve the quality and rigor of their local evaluations. The project will document the programs and activities conducted through the RPG program and assess the extent to which the grants have been successful in addressing the needs of families with substance abuse problems who come to the attention of the child welfare system.
