Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is soliciting grant proposals to carry out Phase 1 of an evaluation of the demonstration portion of the Attorney General's Children Exposed to Violence (CEV) Initiative. This opportunity is focused on research and evaluation work rather than direct service delivery. The central purpose of Phase 1 is to complete early-stage evaluation planning and developmental activities over an 18-month period so that NIJ and its partners are positioned to conduct a more rigorous impact evaluation in a later Phase 2.
Phase 1 is designed to lay the foundation for a multi-site evaluation by taking stock of what data and measurement infrastructure already exist and what needs to be built or improved. A major task is to assess the relevance, quality, and availability of data for evaluation purposes across eight CEV program sites. This includes determining what outcomes can be measured with existing administrative or program data, identifying gaps in those data, and considering how consistent or comparable the information is across sites. In practice, this kind of work typically involves mapping program operations and logic models, reviewing intake and case management systems, examining how services and referrals are documented, and assessing whether outcome indicators related to children exposed to violence can be measured reliably and ethically.
A second core requirement is close coordination with the CEV technical assistance (TA) provider on data collection and measurement issues. The expectation is that the evaluator will work alongside the TA provider to align data elements, definitions, instruments, and procedures so the demonstration sites are collecting information that can support credible evaluation questions. This coordination also includes ensuring that an evaluation component is meaningfully incorporated into site activities and that evaluation expectations are clearly communicated and feasible for local partners. Because the initiative spans multiple locations and likely involves multiple agencies in each site, coordination is important for standardizing measures, minimizing burden, and improving data quality and consistency.
The solicitation also calls for the evaluation component and related plans to be presented and discussed at multi-site meeting(s). This implies that the Phase 1 awardees will participate in cross-site convenings where data strategies, measurement approaches, and early evaluation design decisions can be reviewed with NIJ, the TA provider, and participating sites. These meetings are a practical mechanism for troubleshooting implementation differences across sites, negotiating shared indicators, and building buy-in for the evaluation approach before Phase 2.
The key deliverable from Phase 1 is the development of a comprehensive strategy to evaluate the impact of the CEV demonstration program in four sites during Phase 2. In other words, after assessing all eight sites in Phase 1, the work should culminate in a detailed, defensible evaluation plan that identifies four sites suitable for more intensive impact evaluation and explains how the impact evaluation would be conducted. This strategy would typically cover evaluation questions and hypotheses, outcome measures, comparison or control strategies where feasible, data sources and data collection plans, sampling approaches, analytic methods, timelines, human subjects protections, and plans for handling common real-world constraints such as missing data, implementation variability, and interagency data sharing barriers.
Administratively, this is a discretionary NIJ grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2010 2633) posted on March 31, 2010, with a closing date of June 1, 2010, and an archive date of June 30, 2010.
