SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The Evaluation of the
Child Welfare Capacity Building
Collaborative is sponsored by the
Children’s Bureau, Administration for
Children and Families of the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services. The Capacity Building
Collaborative includes three centers
(Center for States, Center for Tribes,
Center for Courts) funded by the
Children’s Bureau to provide national
child welfare expertise and evidenceinformed training and technical
assistance services to state, tribal and
territorial public child welfare agencies
and Court Improvement Programs
(CIPs). The Centers offer a wide array of
services including, but not limited to:
Web-based content and resources,
product development and
dissemination, self-directed and groupbased training, virtual learning and peer
networking events, and tailored
consultation and coaching. During the
project period, Center services are

42924
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 160 / Monday, August 19, 2019 / Notices
evaluated by both Center-specific
evaluations and a Cross-Center
Evaluation. The Center-specific
evaluations are designed to collect data
on Center-specific processes and
outcomes, which are used to support
service delivery and continuous quality
improvement. The Cross-Center
Evaluation is designed to respond to a
set of cross-cutting evaluation questions
posed by the Children’s Bureau. The
Cross-Center Evaluation examines: How
and to what extent key partners across
and within Centers collaborate; whether
Center capacity building service
interventions are evaluable; the degree
to which Centers follow common
protocols; what service interventions are
delivered and in what services do
jurisdictions participate; how satisfied
recipients are with services; what
outcomes are achieved in jurisdictions
receiving Center services and under
what conditions are services effective;
and what are the costs of services.
The Cross-Center Evaluation uses a
longitudinal, mixed methods approach
to evaluate Center services as they
develop and mature over the course of
the study. Multiple data collection
strategies are used to efficiently capture
quantitative and qualitative data to
enable analyses that address each
evaluation question. Cross-Center
Evaluation data sources for this effort
include (1) satisfaction surveys to assess
recipient satisfaction with services, such
as the Learning Experiences Satisfaction
Survey; (2) a leadership interview used
to assess perceptions of state child
welfare directors, tribal child welfare
directors, and CIP directors; and (3) a
web-based collaboration survey used to
assess perceptions of collaboration
within and between the capacity
building centers. Center-specific data
sources for this effort include (1)
assessment tools such as the Center for
Tribes Needs and Fit Exploration Tools;
and (2) service-specific feedback forms,
such as the Center for States Intensive
Projects instrument and the Center for
Courts CQI Workshops instrument.
Respondents: Respondents of data
collection instruments include (1) child
welfare and judicial professionals who
use the Collaborative’s products and
online courses, that participate in
webinars, virtual or in-person trainings,
or peer events, and that receive brief or
intensive tailored services from the
Centers; (2) all State child welfare
directors, and Tribal child welfare
directors, and CIP coordinators that
receive services from the Centers; and
(3) directors and staff of the three
Capacity Building Centers.
