  style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I am developing a proposal for a 
  grant that includes interviews with caseworkers. The interviews are expected 
  to last 60-90 minutes and includes both the completion of a brief instrument 
  regarding constructs like characteristics of parents in their current caseload 
  and demographics, as well as some open ended questions about their perceptions 
  of barriers to and facilitators of parents engagement in parent training 
  interventions in child welfare. I am partnering closely with the local child 
  welfare agency and my institution has a fairly successful history of executing 
  research with them. It is not allowable by policy to provide caseworkers with 
  any type of money, gift, or other traditional incentives. Can anyone advise me 
  as to other methods or procedures that might &#8220;incentivize&#8221; this group or 
  support their participation in some other way? I am particularly concerned 
  about the competing demands placed on these workers as they will participate 
  in the research during normal working hours.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
