Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Essentials for Improved Outcomes The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Essentials for Improved Outcomes will fund an organization to help states, territories, and CSBG-eligible entities: 1) strengthen their understanding of CSBG statutory and regulatory requirements; 2) enhance their implementation of critical program elements (e.g., community needs assessment, tripartite board, monitoring and reporting compliance etc.); and 3) support the coordination and development of additional anti-poverty resources that support the overall administration of CSBG.

Strengthening capacity to navigate complex systems is critical to successful administration. By fostering collaboration and service models for navigating systems like foster care, behavioral health, housing and other public assistances, award recipients can better ensure children and families receive specialized support for building stable, permanent environments where families and communities thrive Dept.

of Health and Human Services Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Tribal Capacity Building Training and Technical Assistance (TCBTTA) The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Tribal Capacity Building Training and Technical Assistance (TCBTTA) project intends to support one organization to help build tribal and tribal organization capacity within CSBG.

This cooperative agreement addresses a critical gap in CSBG infrastructure: the absence of tailored training and technical assistance for tribal grant recipients.

By receiving dedicated resources for capacity‐building, tribes and tribal organizations will be better equipped to administer their CSBG services, strengthen compliance and program performance, and more effectively use CSBG funds to support housing and economic stability initiatives that align with the A Home for Every Child administrative priority.

The training and technical assistance (TTA) provided under this NOFO will include best practices in CSBG oversight, support with budgeting, financial reporting, internal controls, compliance with federal grant requirements, the CSBG Tribal Annual Report, and use of data for program improvements.

The training and technical assistance will assist tribes and tribal organizations on conducting community needs assessment and the development of CSBG plans that reflect tribal priorities, technical support for designing and delivering services that align with CSBG goals while honoring tribal sovereignty, and facilitate connections among tribal award recipients to share best practices, challenges, and improved processes in implementing CSBG funded programs.

Dept. of Health and Human Services Reflective Supervision in Home Visiting Research Awards The Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) plans to solicit applications for Reflective Supervision in Home Visiting Research Awards. This funding opportunity will support projects that use the Supervisory Practices in Reflective Supervision-Home Visiting (SuPRS-HV) ( https://acf.

gov/opre/report/measure-manual-supervisor-practices-reflect… ) measure to research and evaluate reflective supervision in early childhood home visiting.

These awards will support partnerships with home visiting programs, including at least one funded by the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Program (MIECHV) to do one or more of the following: 1) Further how reflective supervision is measured (e.g., explore additional aspects of the validity not explored in the measure development, adapt the measure for supervisees, validate against observational measures); 2) Use SuPRS-HV to understand how reflective supervision practices may affect outcomes (e.g., for home visitors, for home visitor-family relationships, or for families); 3) Develop tools to help home visiting programs use SuPRS-HV to improve practice (e.g., for monitoring performance or quality improvement); and/or 4) Use SuPRS-HV to describe how reflective supervision practices vary (e.g., by communities, staff characteristics, populations served).

Findings from these projects will inform early childhood home visiting policy, practice, or research and help people in the field better understand reflective supervision practices. Dept.

of Health and Human Services Collaborative Approaches to Adoption for Children with Complex Needs This funding opportunity aims to support innovations that build evidence on how to help children and youth with complex or high-acuity needs achieve permanency through adoption. The projects will focus on collaborative, system-level efforts to recruit, train, support, and retain families who can meet these children's needs.

Projects must be led by researchers who work within a child welfare agency or work in close partnership with one or more child welfare agencies. Together, researchers and child welfare program staff will identify and evaluate promising collaborative approaches.

Collaborations that include Medicaid Section 1115 Research and Demonstration Projects, private adoption agencies, or community- or faith-based organizations are of particular interest. You'll be expected to: (1) Study how the model works in practice (i.e., implementation study). (2) Evaluate the effectiveness of the approach.

(3) Use the most rigorous research designs, methods, and analytic techniques that are appropriate and sufficient to address the research questions of interest. Projects are expected to build on the existing research evidence and contribute generalized knowledge. Dept.
