THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Child Welfare, Child Abuse, Juvenile Justice, Victim Services
Deadline: Jan. 20, 2021
“This solicitation provides funding to support training and technical assistance for judicial personnel and attorneys, particularly personnel and practitioners in juvenile and family courts, and administrative reform in juvenile and family courts.
This program will support a model training and technical assistance program for judicial, legal, and social services personnel handling child abuse, neglect, and related cases, including cases involving children who have been affected by opioids and other substance abuse.
The goal of this program is to improve the judicial system’s handling of child abuse, neglect, and related cases, with specific emphasis on the role of the courts in addressing reasonable efforts that can safely avoid unnecessary and unnecessarily prolonged foster care placement.

- Develop a model approach/procedures for coordinating information and services for families
involved in court-related child abuse and neglect cases. - Develop training and technical assistance that supports this model approach to coordinated
case management by the courts. - Implement evidence-based practices to improve the courts’ handling of child abuse, neglect,
and related cases. - Develop and guide administrative improvements in juvenile and family courts.
- Develop and deliver training and technical assistance to judicial personnel and attorneys in
juvenile and family courts, including specialized training on handling families impacted by
opioids. - Develop and disseminate best practices, innovations, and lessons learned from this model
project at the national level.”
