Abstract:
The information collected under this generic clearance is intended to inform the diagnosis and design, as well as the evaluation, of up to 9 sites that will be rigorously tested in the Behavioral Interventions to Advance Self-Sufficiency Next Generation (BIAS-NG) project. Due to the rapid and iterative nature of this work, the Administration for Children and Families’ (ACF) Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation sought and received approval for a generic clearance to conduct this research. Under this generic clearance, interventions have been and will continue to be developed in the program area domains of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Child Welfare, and Early Head Start/Head Start (EHS/HS). This request is to extend approval of the ACF BIAS-NG Project Overarching Generic (#0970-0502) for an additional three years and add up to one new site, for a total of up to nine sites.
