Center for States Evaluation Ancillary Data Collection

The Evaluation of the Child Welfare Capacity Building Collaborative, Center for States is sponsored by the Children's Bureau, Administration for Children and Families of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The purpose of this evaluation is to respond to a set of cross-cutting evaluation questions posed by the Children's Bureau. This existing information collection is an ancillary part of a larger data collection effort being conducted for the evaluation of the Child Welfare Capacity Building Collaborative. This notice details a group of instruments that are specific only to the Center for States. The instruments focus on (1) evaluating an innovative approach to engaging professionals in networking and professional development through virtual conferences, (2) understanding fidelity to and effectiveness of the Center for States' Capacity Building Model, and (3) capturing consistent information during the updated annual assessment process focused on related contextual issues impacting potential service delivery such as implementation of new legislation. This is time sensitive request because the Center for States anticipates the need to collect information immediately after the expiration of the existing collection (August 31, 2020). Registration for the Child Welfare Virtual Conference (Child Welfare Virtual Conference Registration Form) will begin in June 2020 and will continue through the date of the conference on September 24, 2020. The other information collection forms associated with this conference will also be used once the conference begins.

The latest form for Center for States Evaluation Ancillary Data Collection expires 2023-09-30 and can be found here.
