SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In FY
2014, OCSE competitively awarded a
cooperative agreement to the
Washington State Department of Social
and Health Services to conduct a 5-year
evaluation of OCSE’s national
demonstration called Behavioral
Interventions for Child Support Services
(BICS).
This supplement will allow the
Washington State Department of Social
and Health Services to develop
additional dissemination tools such as
reports and web-based trainings on the
lessons learned and early findings from
the evaluation of Behavioral
Interventions for Child Support Services
Demonstration.
The cost of the BICS evaluation is
higher than originally budgeted because
the process mapping and project design
phase has been significantly slower than
anticipated for the grantees. This led to
the need for increased technical
assistance to the BICS grantees by the
evaluation grantee. Additionally, as a
result of the mapping and design phase,
OCSE anticipates an increased number
of interesting findings that will be of
benefit to the greater child support field.
The supplemental funds will allow
Washington State Department of Social
and Health Services to provide
increased technical assistance to the
BICS demonstration sites, and support
the development of additional
dissemination tools such as reports and
web-based trainings on the lessons
learned and early findings from the
Evaluation of BICS.
Specifically, the Washington State
Department of Social and Health
Services will explore the development
of innovative, user-friendly tools such
as podcasts and infographics that will
provide research findings and learning
to the child support community in a
way that is easily accessible to
interested program administrators and
policy officials. These tools will also
continue to build the evidence-base in
what works in the delivery of child
support services.
