SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: NSCAW is the only
source of nationally representative,
longitudinal, firsthand information
about the functioning and well-being,
service needs, and service utilization of
children and families who come to the
attention of the child welfare system.
OMB previously approved data
collection under OMB Control Number
0970–0202 for NSCAW. The Phase I
submission, approved November 2016,
included recruitment and sampling
process data collection activities. The
Phase II submission, approved July
2017, included baseline and 18-month
follow-up data collection activities.
The proposed new data collection
activities will provide national
representative data on the
characteristics and activities of the
workforce in child welfare agencies
participating in NSCAW III. Surveys
will collect information on workforce
characteristics and competencies,
training and professional development
opportunities, and organizational and
agency factors. The surveys will also
collect information about the potential
impacts of the COVID–19 pandemic on
child welfare agency staff and practice.
Respondents: The respondents are
agency directors, supervisors, and
caseworkers. All surveys will be
conducted in-person.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Since 2006, CB has
awarded multiple rounds of competitive
grants to state and local agencies and
service providers under the RPG
Program. Grants are awarded to
organizations such as child welfare
agencies, substance abuse treatment
providers, or family court systems to
develop interagency collaborations and
provide services designed to increase
well-being, improve permanency, and
enhance the safety of children who are
in or are at risk of being placed in outof-home care as a result of a parent’s or
caretaker’s substance abuse. Thirty-five
grantees are participating in the ongoing
RPG national cross-site evaluation,
which examines implementation,
partnerships, outcomes, and impacts.
All grantees collect data on a uniform
set of performance measures and report
them to CB on a semi-annual basis
through a web-based system. These
ongoing data collection activities are
approved under OMB #0970–0527. All
grantees are also required to use a
portion of their funding to conduct their
own ‘‘local’’ program impact evaluation.
This proposed cost study adds a new
and unique contribution to CB’s
portfolio of evaluation activities.
Although the RPG cross-site evaluation
will provide evidence for the
effectiveness of some interventions to
address the emotional effects of trauma,
more information is needed about the
cost of implementing these EvidenceBased Programs (EBPs).
The cost study has the key objective
to determine the cost of implementing
three select Trauma-Specific EBPs:

AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) seeks approval for a onetime study to examine familial
outcomes 8 or more years after a child’s
adoption from the child welfare system.
The primary objective of this study is to
estimate the prevalence of instability
events that occur in families who have
adopted children who have exited the
foster care system. The second objective
is to understand risk and protective
factors associated with post adoption
instability.

out this objective, the study team will
collect detailed cost information from
nine RPG round four and five grantees
who are implementing these selected
EBPs. For each grantee, the study team
will administer two data collection
instruments: (1) A Cost Workbook used
to collect comprehensive information on
the cost of implementing each select
program (Instrument #1), and (2) a Staff
Survey and Time Log used to collect
information on how program staff
allocate their time (Instrument #2).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The proposed study
would conduct web or telephone
surveys with adopted youth, young
adults, and adults as well as adoptive
parents who were participants in the
first or second cohort of NSCAW
(NSCAW I, II; OMB #0970–0202). The
surveys are designed to collect
information about instability events
(such as foster care re-entry or running
away that occurred after a child’s
adoption) as well as family functioning,
perceptions of the adoption
relationship, and services and support
received after adoption.
Respondents: Adopted youth, young
adults, adults, and their associated
adoptive parents who participated in
NSCAW I or II.
