Re: Kids in the child welfare system and academic/ employment outcome s

Errick,<br>
<br>
I have done a systematic review of the literature on the academic and
school behavior outcomes of children in foster care that I can share with
you. It includes a discussion of studies that look at adults who had been
in foster care.<br>
<br>
Otherwise, here are several citations that should be helpful.<br>
<br>

kids: Educational experiences of a random sample of foster care youth and
a matched group of non-foster care youth. <u>Child and Adolescent Social
Work Journal, 14</u>(1), 41-53.<br>

care. <u>Child and Adolescent Social Work, 7</u>(5), 419-440.<br>

====================================================
Grants Award Announcement
Purpose:
The Stone Center, part of the Wellesley Centers for Women at Wellesley
College, announces the Robert S. and Grace W. Stone Primary Prevention
Initiatives Grant Program: Empowering Children for Life. This Program will
support research and evaluation that advances understanding of the role of
relationships in fostering child and adolescent well being and healthy
human development. Proposals for research grounded in Relational-Cultural
Theory are particularly encouraged, as are those that give particular
attention to the ways findings can be used programmatically to help
children. Researchers from universities or research institutions in the
U.S., including researchers from the Wellesley Centers for Women, are
eligible to apply.
Awards will be in two categories:
1. Ph.D, Ed.D., or PsyD. Individual Dissertation awards: $2,500-$5,000 per
year for up to two years. (up to 5 awards will be given)
2. Research Grants: $2,500-$50,000 per year for up to three years. (up to
5 grants will be given)
Eligibility:
Dissertation Awards: These awards are open to students enrolled in an
accredited graduate program at a U.S. university and working toward a
Ph.D., Ed.D. or Psy.D. Proof of student status, and two faculty
recommendations must be submitted with the application, which must be for
work on an approved dissertation topic. These awards do not carry indirect
costs.
Research Grants: Grants will be made to researchers (Ph.D. or equivalent)
who are based at universities and/or not-for-profit research institutions
in the U.S. Research grants will be awarded to the institution, not to
individuals. Indirect costs up to 15% of the total budget are allowed.
Application Procedures:
The original full proposal should be submitted with two copies, and must
contain the following information:
1. Cover page listing the project’s title, the names of the
investigator(s), the amount of the request, its term (one to two years for
Dissertation Awards, one to three years for Research Grants). Research
grant applications must be signed by an authorized institutional official.
2. Abstract of proposal (no more than 1 page) concisely summarizing each
of the items listed under #3 below. The abstract should serve as a
succinct and accurate description of the proposed work and should briefly
describe the research goals and objectives, research design, and methods
for achieving the goals and objectives.
3. The full proposal should be no more than 20 double spaced pages and
should:
a. State the research question(s) and their justification in a concise
manner and include a review of recent literature that locates this
specific inquiry in the current relevant empirical, theoretical and/or
evaluation literature(s) (e.g., psychology, education, the role of
relationships in human development)
b. Describe and provide detailed rationale(s) for the proposed research or
study design and analytical methodologies, as well as sufficient
information to judge the rigor and expertise of the investigator (for
instance, a brief description of preliminary studies or previous work on
the proposed or related topic conducted by the PI or with which s/he has
been involved).
c. Articulate the anticipated contribution of this project to the stated
purpose of this grant program with particular emphasis on how the proposed
work will illuminate those specific aspects of relationships between
children and adults that are most conducive to the healthy development of
youth.
The following items should be submitted with the proposal as appendices:
1. Budget by grant year for all direct and indirect costs. Multiple year
proposals should include budgets for each year. Indirect costs may not
exceed 15% of total direct costs. This ceiling includes any indirect costs
contained in expenses for subgranted or subcontracted services. (Indirect
costs may not be submitted for Dissertation Awards)
2. Institutional Review Board approval of the investigator's institution
is necessary for all projects involving human subjects. Proposals should
indicate how issues of protection of human subjects will be addressed and
the intention to seek such approval if the proposal is funded. Such
approval must be documented before a grant is fully executed.
3. Brief Curricula vitae (no more than three pages) should be included for
all Principal Investigators.
4. Non-profit status should be confirmed by submitting an IRS Tax
Determination under the 1969 Tax Reform Act for the institution that will
receive a grant. Research grants are made to organizations or
institutions, not individuals.
