Title IV-E Prevention Accelerator Grants: Despite expanded authority under the Family First Prevention Services Act, title IV-E prevention services account for less than 2% of total program claims. Many title IV-E agencies face implementation barriers including limited infrastructure, provider readiness, evaluation capacity, and complex claiming requirements.To overcome these barriers, the Children's Bureau will fund projects to accelerate and sustain implementation of the title IV-E prevention services program.Funded projects will develop the infrastructure and readiness to implement one or more title IV-E eligible prevention services. Services implemented must include at least one title IV-E eligible prevention service that is either new or not yet fully operationalized within their current title IV-E prevention plans or statewide service array. Core activities include but are not limited to: (1) Building title IV-E claiming and reimbursement systems; (2) Developing provider capacity and referral pathways; (3) Establishing data and reporting infrastructure. Title IV-E agencies must demonstrate how services and infrastructure will transition to title IV-E claiming within 18 months. Award recipients will work with an internal or external evaluator to provide rapid and real-time feedback as they prepare to implement the program(s) and share lessons learned with the field.
