Cross-Center Evaluation of the Capacity Building Collaborative

Public Law 113–183 Study

Key Stakeholder Survey

Background: James Bell Associates, a program evaluation firm contracted by the Children’s Bureau, is conducting an independent study of services delivered by the Center for States, Center for Tribes, and Center for Courts in support of jurisdictions implementing the sex trafficking and reasonable and prudent parent standard (RPPS) components of P.L. 113–183. Evaluators are interested in assessing the degree to which the Centers’ services and other factors have affected jurisdictions ability to implement the provisions of the law. Data from this survey will not be identified with your particular jurisdiction, but they will be aggregated to examine relationships between services and implementation progress.

Instructions: We are asking you to complete this survey because you were identified as the point person on P.L. 113-183 in your State/Territory/Tribe. We will ask you to complete this survey once in 2016, once in 2017, and once in 2018. You may gather information from others in your agency to answer the questions, but please submit only one response on behalf of your agency.

Please complete the survey by [enter due date]. Questions may be directed to Anne Fromknecht at fromknecht@jbassoc.com or 703-247-2631.
