93.652 -- Adoption Opportunities
Description
The Prevention Services Evaluation Partnerships: Supporting Adoptive Families funding opportunity aims to support a summative randomized control trial or quasi-experimental evaluation of a program and/or service intended to provide enhanced support to children and families in adoption arrangements at risk of disruption or dissolution that may result in foster care placements. This funding opportunity will support a collaboration among evaluators and partnering Title IV-E agencies, community entities, and/or researchers that have experience in working with adopted children, foster children or children in kinship care arrangements to conduct well-designed and rigorous evaluations of programs or services in the areas of mental health, substance abuse prevention and/or treatment, in-home parent skill-based, or kinship navigator. The award recipient is expected to conduct a randomized control trial or quasi-experimental evaluation design that aligns with Title IV-E Prevention Services Clearinghouse (the Clearinghouse) Design and Execution Standards for Moderate or High Support of Causal Evidence and may contribute to the research systematically reviewed by the Clearinghouse. To be considered eligible, the program and/or service to be evaluated must have demonstrated readiness for rigorous summative evaluations, for example by previously completed formative evaluations. The award recipient may collect and analyze primary data or leverage existing administrative data for the proposed evaluation. ACF is particularly interested in an evaluation of a program or service that is eligible for review by the Clearinghouse, but is not yet rated; a program or service with a rating of “does not currently meet criteria” by the Clearinghouse; and a program or service that has been designed or adapted for specific emerging, unserved, or underserved populations, or populations that have historic or ongoing disproportionate representation in the child welfare system. Finally, the award recipient is expected to collaborate with federal staff and with the existing Prevention Services Evaluation Partnerships cohort as they conduct their evaluation.
