About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families funds pilot projects under Assistance Listing 93.293 to test automated, real-time data exchange systems that reduce processing time for interstate foster care placements under the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC), with the most recent grant award disbursed on September 30, 2013.
This program is not currently active. The portfolio contains only two awards spanning from 2007 to 2013, with no grant opportunities posted in recent years and no awards disbursed in the past thirteen years. The program funded pilot implementation of electronic records systems to replace paper-based case file and documentation exchange between states, measuring outcomes including timeliness of cross-state communication, speed of case documentation transfer, and adherence to streamlined ICPC processes.
Both awards were issued by HHS Administration for Children and Families; the portfolio was split evenly between one Project Grant and one Cooperative Agreement. Combined federal dollars obligated across the two awards totaled $14.8 million. The most recent award (September 30, 2013) was a $1.25 million Project Grant with a completion date of February 28, 2015. The earlier award (June 30, 2007) was a $13.6 million Cooperative Agreement that ran through June 29, 2012, though the government description for this award references Kansas cancer control and prevention programming rather than foster care records exchange, suggesting possible data inconsistency or portfolio misclassification in the source.
No current or recent grant opportunities are available under this program. Pursuit is not recommended without confirmation that the program has reopened or been reactivated.
Objective and description
- Objective
The Partnership Fund for Program Integrity Innovation at the Office of Management and Budget funds pilot projects to improve the administration of federal assistance programs by: reducing improper payments; improving administrative efficiency; improving service delivery; and protecting and improving program access for eligible beneficiaries. This pilot implements real-time, on-line data exchange for states to share records and other information to support permanent placements of foster care children in homes across state lines. The Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC) ensures safe and suitable interstate placements for children in foster case. In many cases, permanent placement with relative or adoptive families in other states is in the best interests of the child. But to make these interstate placements - - after doing the required due diligence to ensure that the placement is appropriate for the child - states currently share and exchange case files, information and evaluations, and to collect, track, synthesize and report comprehensive data through paper-based processes. The pilot will test whether an automated system reduces the time to process such cross-state exchanges to determine whether a placement is safe and suitable. The pilot evaluation will measure timeliness of communication, expeditious exchange of case documentation and similar immediate outcomes as well as the utilization and adherence to streamlined ICPC processes.
