The Permanency Innovations Initiative: An Example of Building Evidence in Child Welfare

공공데이터포털

With growing interest in using evidence-based programs across the Federal Government, this video emphasizes how the PII approach exemplifies the four criteria of evidence-based policymaking. PII has increased the body of evidence, developed a step-wise process for building evidence, and contributed to creating a culture of evidence in the child welfare field.

In their own voices, PII grantees and PII partners reflect on their experiences using the PII approach to understand and address the challenges faced by youth in long-term foster care. The PII approach enables grantees to develop stronger, targeted strategies to address these challenges. Examples of materials created to help others apply the PII approach are highlighted.

The Development, Implementation, and Assessment Approach

공공데이터포털

Throughout the federal government, there is a push to use and build evidence to improve effectiveness of programs in human services. The Permanency Innovations Initiative (PII) combines implementation science and rigorous evaluation and responds to the need for more evidence-supported interventions in child welfare. The Development, Implementation, and Assessment Approach was developed as part of this initiative and focuses on best practices in implementation science. Tested and refined in real-world settings, the Approach helps organizations develop or adapt innovations and effectively implement them with fidelity for sustainable change.
