Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
Title: Statewide Automated Child
Welfare Information System (SACWIS)
Assessment Review Guide (SARGE).
OMB No.: 0970–0159.
Description: The Department of
Health and Human Services cannot
fulfill its obligation to effectively serve
the nation’s adoption and foster care
populations, nor report meaningful and
reliable information to Congress about
the extent of problems facing these
children or the effectiveness of
assistance provided to this population,
without access to timely and accurate
information. Currently, SACWIS
supports State efforts to meet the
following Federal reporting
requirements: the Adoption and Foster
Care Analysis and Reporting System
(AFCARS) required by section 479(b)(2)
of the Social Security Act; the National
Child Abuse and Neglect Data System
(NCANDS); Child Abuse Prevention and
Treatment Act (CAPTA); and the Chafee
Independent Living Program. These
systems also support State efforts to
provide the information to conduct the
Child and Family Services Reviews.
Currently, forty-five States and the
District of Columbia have developed, or
are developing, a SACWIS with Federal
financial participation. The purpose of
these reviews is to ensure that all
aspects of the project, as described in
21203
the approved Advance Planning
Document, have been adequately
completed, and conform to applicable
regulations and policies.
To initiate a review, States will
submit the completed SACWIS
Assessment Review Guide (SARGE) and
other documentation at the point that
they have completed system
development and the system is
operational statewide. The additional
documents submitted as part of this
process should all be readily available
to the State as a result of good project
management practices.
The information collected in the
SACWIS Assessment Review Guide will
allow State and Federal officials to
determine if the State’s SACWIS meets
the requirements for title IV–E Federal
Financial Participation (FFP) defined at
45 CFR 1355.50. Additionally, other
States will be able to use the
documentation provided as part of this
review process in their own system
development efforts.
Respondents: State Title IV–E
Agencies.

concurrently with the one described in
this announcement. They include: (1)
Head Start Graduate Student Research
Partnership Development Grants, (2)
Head Start-University Partnership
Research Grants: Curriculum

Head Start and Early Head Start
Programs, and (3) American IndianAlaska Native Head Start-University

Student Research Partnership
Development Grants. Relative funding
for the two sets of Head Start Graduate
Student Research Grants is contingent
upon the results of the review process.
I. Funding Opportunity Description
A. Purpose
The purpose of this announcement is
to report the availability of funds for
Head Start Graduate Student Research
Grants to support field-initiated
research activities in partnership with
Head Start programs.
B. Statutory Authority
Section 649 of the Head Start Act, as
amended by the Coats Human Services
Reauthorization Act of 1998 (Pub. L.
105–285), codified at 42 U.S.C. 9844.
Administration for Children and
Families
C. Background
Since 1991, ACF has explicitly
supported the relationship between
established Head Start researchers and
their graduate students by awarding
research grants, on behalf of specific
graduate students, to conduct research
in Head Start communities. As many
previously funded Head Start graduate
students have continued to make
significant contributions to the early
childhood research field as they have
pursued their careers, this funding
mechanism is an important research
capacity-building effort.
To ensure that future research is
responsive to the changing needs of
low-income families, graduate students
need strong and positive role models.
Therefore, Head Start’s support of the

partnership between students and their
mentors is essential. The unique
partnership that is forged between
mentor and student within the Head
Start research context serves as a model
for the establishment of other
partnerships within the community
(e.g., researcher-Head Start staff,
researcher-family, etc.). This foundation
helps foster the skills necessary to build
a graduate student’s trajectory of
successful partnership-building and
contributions to the scientific
community. Within this nurturing and
supportive relationship, young
researchers are empowered to become
autonomous researchers, learning
theory, as well as the process of
interacting with the various members
and relevant organizations within their
communities.
Thus, the goals of the Head Start
Graduate Student Research Grant
program can be summarized as follows:
1. Provide direct support for graduate
students as a way of encouraging the
conduct of research with Head Start
populations, thus contributing to the
knowledge base about the best
approaches for delivering services to
diverse, low-income families and their
children;
2. Promote mentor-student
relationships that support students’
graduate training and professional
development as young researchers
engaged in policy-relevant, applied
research;
3. Emphasize the importance of
developing true working research
partnerships with Head Start programs
and other relevant entities within the
community, thereby fostering skills
necessary to build a student’s trajectory
of successful partnership-building and
contributions to the scientific
community; and
4. Support the active communication,
networking and collaboration among
graduate students, their mentors and
other prominent researchers in the field,
both during their graduate training, as
well as into the early stages of their
research careers.
While the specific topics addressed
under these Graduate Student Research
Grants are intended to be field-initiated,
