Understanding Postadoption and Guardianship Instability for Children and Youth Who Exit Foster CareStatement of Work (ECU)

RTI International (RTI) seeks a contractor to support project management, the creation of research study design options, and data collection and analysis for the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). This project seeks to better understand post-permanency instability for children and youth who exit foster care through adoption or guardianship. To that end the goals of the project are to: 1. Conduct a literature review of existing literature; 2. Compile relevant policies, procedures and data; 3. Develop design options that would leverage existing data sources to enhance ACF?s understanding of postadoption and guardianship instability; and 4. Carry out activities for selected design options.
