Grant Description: The Children's Bureau announces the availability of funds and requests applications for one cooperative agreement to develop, field test, revise, implement, evaluate, and disseminate a competency and experientially-based training curriculum for training child welfare professionals. This curriculum will address healthy marriage and relationship skills for populations underserved in the general population and overrepresented in the child welfare system. The Children's Bureau is particularly interested in the evaluation of the effectiveness of the curriculum and the possible expansion, replication and dissemination of the curriculum on a national level.
