Title: Cross-Site Evaluation of
Children’s Bureau’s Child Welfare
Technical Assistance Implementation
Centers and National Child Welfare
Resource Centers.
OMB No.: 0970–0377.
Background and Brief Description:
The Cross-Site Evaluation of the Child
Welfare Implementation Centers (ICs)
and National Resource Centers (NRCs) is
sponsored by the Children’s Bureau,
Administration for Children and
Families, of the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services and
involves the conduct of a multi-year
cross-site evaluation that examines the
service provision of the ICs’ and NRCs’
and the relation of their training and
technical assistance activities to
organizational and systems change in
State and Tribal child welfare systems.
Additionally, the evaluation examines
the degree to which networking,
collaboration, information sharing,
adherence to common principles, and
common messaging occurs across
members of the Children’s Bureau
PO 00000
Frm 00030

Training and Technical Assistance (T/
TA) Network, which is designed to
improve child welfare systems and to
support States and Tribes in achieving
sustainable, systemic change that results
in greater safety, permanency, and wellbeing for children, youth, and families.
The Children’s Bureau desires to assess
the quality and effectiveness of the
technical assistance it supports, and
several of these programs and projects
are required to be evaluated, including
those funded under Section 105 of The
Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment
Act, as amended [42 U.S.C. 5106]. The
Children’s Bureau T/TA Network is
currently comprised of providers
funded entirely or partially by the
Children’s Bureau through grants,
contracts, and interagency agreements.
The cross-site evaluation uses a
mixed-method, longitudinal approach to
examine the ICs (funded in FY 2009)
and the NRCs (funded in FY 2010). Data
collection methods that already have
been employed are a longitudinal
telephone survey of State and Tribal
child welfare directors (or their
designees), a web-based survey of State
and Tribal T/TA recipients, and
aggregation of outputs from a web-based
technical assistance tracking system
(OneNet) that will continue to be used
by the ICs and NRCs. A web-based
survey also has been administered to
members of the T/TA Network to assess
their communication, coordination, and
how they function as part of the
Network. Data collected through these
instruments are being used by the
Children’s Bureau to evaluate the
technical assistance delivered to State,
local, Tribal, and other publicly
administered or publicly supported
child welfare agencies and family and
juvenile courts. Extension of the followup data collection instruments beyond
the June 30, 2013 expiration date is
necessary so that the Children’s Bureau
can assess the extent to which the ICs
and NRCs fulfill their key objectives and
determine the outcomes of the T/TA
provided by the ICs and NRCs from the
perspective of States and Tribes,
incorporating service utilization data
from OneNet into these analyses.
Respondents: Respondents to two of
the survey instruments will be State and
Tribal governments. Respondents to the
third survey will be private institutions,
including universities, not-for-profit
organizations, and private companies.
Private institutions, including
universities and not-for-profit
organizations will be respondents to the
forms in the OneNet tracking system.

Overall, the estimated burden hours
have decreased by 284 hours from the
original submission (the estimated total
annual burden hours were 2135.12).
This difference is explained in part due
to plans for fewer Network member
organizations to complete subsequent
surveys. Additional data fields have
been added to four of the OneNet forms
at the request of respondents, and a few
questions on survey instruments have
been removed or revised. These minor
changes did not increase the total
annual burden hours.
In compliance with the requirements
of Section 3506(c) (2) (A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Administration for Children and

Description: The Foster Care
Independence Act of 1999 (42 U.S.C.
1305 et seq.) as amended by Public Law
106–169 requires State child welfare
agencies to collect and report to the
Administration on Children and
Families (ACF) data on the
characteristics of youth receiving
independent living services and
information regarding their outcomes.
The regulation implementing the
National Youth in Transition Database,
listed in 45 CFR 1356.80, contains
standard data collection and reporting
requirements for States to meet the law’s
requirements. ACF will use the
information collected under the
regulation to track independent living
services, assess the collective outcomes
of youth, and potentially to evaluate
State performance with regard to those
outcomes consistent with the law’s
mandate.
Respondents: State agencies that
administer the John H. Chafee Foster
Care Independence Program.
