compelling story, a headline, and up to
three key bullet points. The intent of
this template is to guide the
development of bullets and headlines
describing successes, impacts, and other
funding-related activities.
The goals of these leads are shaped by
four topics:
1. Showcasing the nature of the
preparedness and response challenge:
Something observed at ground level that
clearly illustrates why preparedness and
response work is necessary.
2. Illustrating the public health
contribution: Examples that prove
public health preparedness and
department directors, preparedness
planners, non-public health
preparedness and response partners, the
public and volunteer group members.
The developers plan to leverage existing
communications channels if the leads
are used or developed into more lengthy
stories. Just as stories are used currently,
leads from this template will be
potentially used in congressional
inquiries, leadership presentations,
annual reports, and CDC OPHPR Web
sites.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time.
response not only makes a difference,
but also describe the unique approach
public health brings to emergency
response.
3. Supporting the evidence-base:
Examples that compliment qualitative
research on evidence based
interventions.
4. Demonstrating return on
investment: Leads describing awareness
of how funds are used and
demonstrating fiscal responsibility and
transparency. OPHPR representatives
intend to collect story leads from a
variety of sources including CDC Field
Staff, state health officers, local health

initiative, funded by the Children’s
Bureau (CB) within ACF, is intended to
build the evidence base for innovative
interventions that enhance well-being
and improve permanency outcomes for
particular groups of children and youth
who are at risk for long-term foster care
and who experience the most serious
barriers to timely permanency. The CB
funded six grantees to identify local
barriers to permanent placement and
implement innovative strategies that
mitigate or eliminate those barriers and
reduce the likelihood that children will
remain in foster care for 3 years or
longer. In addition, evaluation plans
were developed to support rigorous sitespecific and cross-site studies to
document the implementation and
effectiveness of the grantees’ projects
and the initiative overall.
Data collection for the PII evaluation
includes a number of components being
launched at different points in time.
Phase 1 included data collection for a
cross-site implementation evaluation
and site-specific evaluations of two PII
grantees (Washoe County, Nevada, and
the State of Kansas). Phase 1 data
collection was approved in August 2012
(OMB #0970–0408). Phase 2 includes
data collection for site-specific
evaluations of two PII grantees: Illinois
Department of Children and Family
Services (DCFS); and the Los Angeles
Gay and Lesbian Center’s Recognize
Intervene Support Empower (RISE)
project. A third phase of the study will
include data collection for a cross-site
cost study, additional data collection
components for the RISE project, and
data collection for California
Department of Social Services’
California Partnership for Permanency
(CAPP) project. Data for the evaluations
will be collected through surveys of
children, youth, foster parents,
guardians, biological parents, and
caseworkers and other agency staff.
Respondents: Children/youth and
their parents or foster caregivers,
caseworkers and other agency staff.
