To foster health and well-being by providing federal leadership, partnership and resources for the compassionate and effective delivery of human services
The grant aims to establish a National Resource Center for Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention. This Center will serve as the primary provider of training and technical assistance for Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention recipients, including states, tribes, tribal organizations, and migrant programs, and their partners. The key objectives include enhancing recipients' ability to meet program requirements, supporting the use of evidence-informed and evidence-based prevention strategies, facilitating the development of a network of interdisciplinary community-based programs to offer a continuum of services for family support and child maltreatment prevention, promoting the engagement of individuals with lived experience in program planning and evaluation, and fostering greater linkages between CBCAP recipients and other child and family support systems. The project duration is 60 months, divided into five 12-month budget periods.
