information on approaches taken by the
52 individual programs and the
implementation of the approaches,
including challenges faced, as well as
facilitating factors, and create a uniform
method for collecting administrative
information across all sites.

SUMMARY: The Children’s Bureau
solicited comments from the public on
the Proposed Research Priorities for
Fiscal Years 2006–2008 in Volume 71,
Number 23 of the Federal Register on
February 3, 2006. Comments were due
by April 4, 2006. All comments received
by the deadline were reviewed and
given consideration in the preparation
of this notice.
Summary of Public Comments
Section 104 (a)(4) of the Child Abuse
Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA),
as amended by the Keeping Children
and Families Safe Act of 2003, Public
Law (Pub. L.). 108–36, requires the
Secretary of the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) to
publish proposed priorities for research
activities for public comment and to
maintain an official record of such
public comment. In response to this
requirement, proposed priorities were
published in February 2006 for public
comment and the responses received are
detailed in this document.
The Children’s Bureau received over
a dozen written responses from a variety

of sources; State protection and
advocacy systems; community agencies
for children and families; national, State
and local associations and non-profit
organizations; universities; hospitals;
children’’s medical centers; mental
health services agencies; agencies
serving children with disabilities; and
private citizens.
Legislative Topics
One response commented on the
proposed research topic of the causes of
child abuse and neglect. The commenter
noted this issue as a high priority,
suggested that understanding the cause
of child abuse and neglect is central to
understanding the dynamics of the
issues as a whole, and necessary for
designing effective prevention and
intervention services. In contradiction
to this comment, another set of
comments received ranked causes of
abuse and neglect as a low priority and
suggested that there has been a wealth
of research conducted in this area.
A comment was received in response
to the proposed research topic on the
socio-economic distinctions and
consequences of child abuse and
neglect. The commenter suggested
issues surrounding cultural and socioeconomic distinctions be studied in
more depth given the recent studies on
overrepresentation of children of color
in the child welfare and juvenile justice
systems. The commenter suggested that
a longitudinal study be conducted on
this issue, and determination of how
culture, ethnicity and race play into the
identification, assessment, prevention
and treatment and the consequences
faced by families of color as a result of
involvement with the child protection
system.
A number of comments were received
in response to the proposed research
priority on the identification of
successful early intervention services or
other needed services; these responses
supported the Children’s Bureau’s
attention to this area.
The evaluation and dissemination of
best practices was mentioned in a
number of responses. One response
supported proposed research on Statelevel strategies to improve child
protection systems under this topic area.
Another commenter noted that attention
to ‘‘what works’’ in child protection and
child welfare services has reached a
‘‘new low,’’ and greater support is
needed in establishing a body of
evidence about effective services.
A number of comments were received
in response to paragraphs (1) through
(14), under the heading of the
evaluation and dissemination of best
practices consistent with the goals of

achieving improvements in child
protective services systems of the States
in accordance with CAPTA [Section
106(a), Grant to States for Child Abuse
and Neglect Prevention and Treatment
Program].
A comment was received encouraging
that priority be given to paragraph (ii):
Creating and improving the use of
multidisciplinary teams and interagency
protocol to enhance investigation, and
improving legal preparation and
representation.
Another comment was received
encouraging that priority be given to
paragraph (iv): Enhancing the general
child protective system by developing,
improving and implementing risk and
safety assessment tools and protocols.
This response specifically requested
research on differential response in
child protective services.
One comment was received related to
paragraph (x): Developing,
implementing or operating programs to
assist in obtaining or coordinating
necessary services for families of
disabled infants with life-threatening
conditions. The comment received
related to this paragraph noted the lack
of mention given to issues related to
persons with disabilities, specifically
parents with disabilities or to children
with disabilities (beyond this mention
of disabled infants). Additional
attention to this response can be found
below in the field-initiated research
area.
One comment was received in
response to paragraph (xi): Developing
and delivering information to improve
public education relating to the role and
responsibilities of the child protection
system and the nature and basis for
reporting suspected incidents of child
abuse and neglect. This commenter
noted that mandated reporters often
experience confusion as to their
responsibility to report suspected child
abuse or neglect, even after receiving
training in this area. Due to the severity
of child abuse and neglect and the
consequences at stake, the commenter
suggested additional research be
conducted to explore better ways to
develop and deliver training and
information to mandated reporters and
the public.
A comment was received encouraging
that priority be given to paragraph (xii):
Developing and enhancing the capacity
of community-based programs to
integrate shared leadership strategies
between parents and professionals to
prevent and treat child abuse and
neglect at the neighborhood level.
One response was a comment
encouraging that priority be given to
paragraph (xiii): Supporting and
