Children's Bureau has designed technical assistance documents to assist states in developing full proposals for a waiver demonstration project. These documents include a template for waiver terms and conditions for capped allocations, a compilation of commonly asked questions about cost neutrality, and evaluation technical assistance documents.

This page provides links to a body of tools developed to provide technical assistance guidance to help child welfare agencies learn more about best practices in implementing various data exchange agreements with other programs or agencies. While some data exchanges are required by Comprehensive Child Welfare Information System (CCWIS) projects, each toolkit includes information that applies to any child welfare information technology project.

These documents can help staff from newly approved Child Welfare Waiver Demonstration projects complete the Initial Design and Implementation Report and subsequent quarterly progress reports, Semiannual Progress Reports, the Interim Evaluation Report, and the Evaluation Plan Outline.
