University Partnership Programs
In fall 2011, OCSE awarded three-year Section 1115 demonstration grants to Iowa, Michigan, and Washington to work with university partners to:
- Improve analysis and interpretation of various types of data, and
- Improve capacity across organizations by identifying areas that needed changing and then assessing how those changes affected families.

Together, the universities and states developed pilots to test new ways of understanding paternity establishment rates, collecting on arrears-only cases, and incentivizing regular child support payments through debt reduction.
