NOTE: This is a Forecasted Opportunity.
The Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) is forecasting a Center for Research on Coordinated Service Approaches to Support Whole Families (the Center) to conduct and strengthen research on the intentional coordination of human services to support the social and economic well-being of whole families.
.The Center will bring together a team that has experience investigating coordinated service approaches to support whole families, assessing the needs and experiences of families with low incomes and those from underserved communities, developing and testing measures for rigorous research and evaluation, building research/evaluation capacity, and conducting research in partnership with state/territory/tribal agencies that administer the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) programs.
Through a combination of research, research capacity building, and communication activities, the Center will address a range of relevant issues including, but not limited to: a) culturally-appropriate research that sheds light on the lived experiences of individuals, children, and families who participate in or are the intended recipients of coordinated service initiatives; b) strengthening coordinated services initiatives through formative evaluation; and c) addressing measurement needs that will advance the field’s knowledge of the processes and outcomes of intentional coordination of services for whole families. The Center will focus on the intentional coordination of services that include, but are not limited to, a) child care and early education and b) employment services, education, and training, and that aim to improve families’ economic mobility and children's healthy development and learning.
