This is a Modification to the Cooperative Agreements for Child Welfare Technical Assistance Implementation Centers Program Announcement, HHS-2008-ACF-ACYF-CO-0058, published to the ACF Grant Opportunities webpage on 05/12/2008. The application procedures are hereby modified.

Guided by a Systems of Care (SOC) approach and informed by the Children's Bureau's (CB) monitoring reviews, Implementation Centers will fill a gap in CB's existing Training and Technical Assistance Network (T/TA Network). Implementation Centers will pilot a new, complementary approach to technical assistance (TA) by expanding the T/TA Network and enhancing its ability to provide in-depth and long-term consultation and support to States and Tribes. Implementation Centers will partner with States and Tribes to execute projects that will focus on the implementation of strategies that their child welfare systems have identified to improve the quality and effectiveness of child welfare services for children, youth, and families.
