Eligible Applicants
On site T&TA is negotiated between the states making the request, the regional offices, and the providers. It is aimed at capacity building activities rather than direct training. T&TA is to be made in coordination with the Children and Family Services Review findings and the needs of the state and their Program Improvement Plans. There is a needs assessment and readiness assessment component, as well as planning and coordination activities with partner National Resource Centers.
