Abstract: OMB approved the impact and implementation studies and instruments for the OPRE Study, Supporting Youth to be Successful in Life (SYSIL) on July 27, 2021. Since approval, the Federal Government increased funding to state child welfare agencies, which although time-limited will affect the services offered to youth. As part of the implementation study, the initial approval included two rounds of site visits and two “check-in” calls with 12 of the 16 sites participating in the evaluation. However, interviewing all sites will allow us to document how their services expanded and contracted during our study period. Our original request indicated that we would drop survey items that we could collect through administrative data; however, at the time of submission we were still learning what information the administrative data captured. We have since identified survey items that we can drop. Data collection for the implementation study has not yet begun. Baseline data collection with youth for the impact study began in September 2021.
