Abstract: The Evaluation of the Child Welfare Capacity Building Collaborative: Part Two is sponsored by the Children’s Bureau (CB) in the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF), Administration for Youth and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) which seeks approval for the data collection instruments and procedures described herein. The proposed information collection is necessary to facilitate, track, monitor, and evaluate the activities of the Capacity Building Collaborative which includes three Federally funded centers (Center for States, Center for Tribes, and Center for Courts) that deliver national child welfare expertise and evidence-informed training and technical assistance services to State, Tribal, and Territorial public child welfare agencies and Court Improvement Programs (CIPs). The CB-funded Centers’ collective goal is to build the capacities of State, local, Tribal child welfare systems to successfully undertake practice, organizational, and systemic reforms necessary to implement federal policies, meet federal standards, and achieve better outcomes for the children, youth and families they serve. This new data collection is the second part of a larger data collection effort being conducted for the evaluation of the Child Welfare Capacity Building Collaborative. The first group of instruments has already been submitted for this evaluation. Legislative Background and Purpose Agencies that receive formula funding through the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) and titles IV-B and IV-E of the Social Security Act are eligible for technical assistance from the Children’s Bureau to support implementation of these programs, compliance with federal requirements, and improvement of outcomes. The proposed information collection is necessary to perform routine evaluation of quality and effectiveness and to inform future planning and decision making about the provision and improvement of technical assistance services authorized under multiple sections of CAPTA and title IV of the Social Security Act. This information collection also complies with the statutory requirement for training projects authorized by Section 5106 of CAPTA to be evaluated for their effectiveness.
