Description: The Children’s Bureau
(CB) within the Administration for
Children and Families of the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services seeks approval to collect
information for the Regional Partnership
Grants to Increase the Well-being of and
to Improve Permanency Outcomes for
Children Affected by Substance Abuse
(known as the Regional Partnership
Grants Program or ‘‘RPG’’) Cross-Site
Evaluation and Evaluation-Related
Technical Assistance project. The Child
and Family Services Improvement and
Innovation Act (Pub. L. 112–34)
includes a targeted grants program
(section 437(f) of the Social Security
Act) that directs the Secretary of Health
and Human Services to reserve a
specified portion of the appropriation
for these Regional Partnership Grants, to
be used to improve the well-being of
children affected by substance abuse.
Under three prior rounds of RPG, the
Children’s Bureau has issued 74 grants
to organizations such as child welfare or
substance abuse treatment providers or
family court systems to develop
interagency collaborations and
integration of programs, activities, and
services designed to increase well-being,
improve permanency, and enhance the
safety of children who are in an out-ofhome placement or are at risk of being
placed in out-of-home care as a result of
a parent’s or caretaker’s substance
abuse. In 2017, CB awarded grants to a
fourth cohort of 17 grantees and in 2018
they plan to award 10 grants to a fifth
cohort.
The RPG cross-site evaluation will
extend our understanding of what types
of programs and services grantees
provided to participants, how grantees
leveraged their partnerships to
coordinate services for children and
families, and what the outcomes were
for children and families enrolled in
RPG programs. First, the cross-site
evaluation will describe the
characteristics of participants served by
RPG programs, the types of services
provided to families, the dosage of each
E:\FR\FM\10OCN1.SGM
10OCN1
50937
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 196 / Wednesday, October 10, 2018 / Notices
type of service received by families, and
the level of participant engagement with
the services provided. Second, the
cross-site will assess the coordination of
partners’ service systems (e.g., shared
participant data, joint staff training) to
better understand how partners’
collaborative effort affects the array of
services offered to families. The crosssite evaluation will also focus more
deeply on the partnership between the
child welfare and substance use
disorder (SUD) treatment agencies, to
add to the research base about how
these agencies can collaborate to
address the needs of children and
families affected by SUD. Finally, the
evaluation will assess the outcomes of
children and adults served through the
RPG program.
The evaluation is being undertaken by
the Children’s Bureau and its contractor
Mathematica Policy Research. The
evaluation is being implemented by
Mathematica Policy Research and its
subcontractor, WRMA Inc.
The RPG Cross-Site Evaluation will
include the following data collection
activities:
1. Site visits and key informant
interviews. The cross-site evaluation
team will visit up to 21 sites to better
understand the partnership and
coordination between the child welfare
and SUD treatment agencies. The
remaining six grantees will participate
in telephone interviews to gather similar
information about their design and
implementation. The site visits and
phone interviews will focus on the RPG
planning process; how and why
particular services were selected; the
ability of the child welfare, substance
use disorder treatment, and other
service systems to collaborate and
support quality implementation of the
RPG services; challenges experienced;
and the potential for sustaining the
collaborations and services after RPG
funding ends.
2. Partner survey. To describe the
interagency collaboration within RPG
sites, grantees and their partners will
participate in an online survey once
during the grant period. One person
from each organization knowledgeable
about the RPG program will be invited
to participate in the survey. The survey
will collect information about
communication and service
coordination among partners. The
survey will also collect information on
characteristics of strong partnerships
(e.g., data sharing agreements,
colocation of staff, referral procedures,
and cross-staff training).
3. Semi-annual progress reports. The
semi-annual progress reports will be
used to obtain updated information
from grantee project directors about
their program operations and
partnerships, including any changes
from prior periods. The CB has tailored
the semi-annual progress reports to
collect information on grantees’
programs and other services grantees
implement, the target population for the
RPG program, and grantees’ perceived
successes and challenges to
implementation.
4. Enrollment, client, and service
data. To document participant
characteristics and their enrollment in
RPG services, all grantees will provide
data on family characteristics, and
enrollment of and services provided to
RPG families. These data include
demographic information on family
members, dates of entry into and exit
from RPG services, and information on
RPG service dosage. These data will be
submitted on an ongoing basis by staff
at the grantee organizations into an
information system developed by the
cross-site evaluation team.
5. Outcome and impact data. To
measure participant outcomes, all
grantees will collect self-administered
standardized instruments from RPG
adults. The standardized instruments
used in RPG collect information on
child well-being, adult and family
functioning, and adult substance use.
Grantees will share the responses on
these self-report instruments with the
cross-site evaluation team. Grantees will
also obtain administrative data on a
common set of child welfare and
substance use disorder treatment data
elements.
In addition to conducting local
evaluations and participating in the RPG
Cross-Site Evaluation, the RPG grantees
are legislatively required to report
performance indicators aligned with
their proposed program strategies and
activities. A key strategy of the RPG
Cross-Site Evaluation is to minimize
burden on the grantees by ensuring that
the cross-site evaluation, which
includes all grantees in a study that
collects data to report on
implementation, the partnerships, and
participant characteristics and
outcomes, fully meets the need for
performance reporting. Thus, rather
than collecting separate evaluation and
performance indicator data, the grantees
need only participate in the cross-site
evaluation. In addition, using the
standardized instruments that the
Children’s Bureau has specified will
ensure that grantees have valid and
reliable data on child and family
outcomes for their local evaluations.
The inclusion of an impact study
conducted on a subset of grantees with
rigorous designs will also provide the
Children’s Bureau, Congress, grantees,
providers, and researchers with
information about the effectiveness of
RPG programs.
This 60-Day Federal Register Notice
covers the following data collection
activities: (1) The site visits with
grantees; (2) the web-based survey of
grantee partners (3) the semi-annual
progress reports; (4) enrollment and
service data provided by grantees; and
(6) outcome and impact data provided
by grantees.
Respondents. Respondents include
grantee staff or contractors (such as local
evaluators) and partner staff. Specific
types of respondents and the expected
number per data collection effort are
