SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF),
Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF), Children's
Bureau (CB) announces the award of a single-source program expansion
supplement grant in the amount of $100,000 to the Tribal Law and Policy
Institute, West Hollywood, CA, to provide new or modified technical
assistance to assist States and Tribes in implementing the
Administration on Children, Youth and Families' well-being framework in
the context of the new requirements of the Child and Family Services
Improvement and Innovation Act (Pub. L. 112-34) and explore the need
for technical assistance to Tribes in the development of oversight
plans for prescription medicines for children in Tribal foster care
systems.
The Tribal Law and Policy Institute administers the National
Resource Center for Tribes (NRC4Tribes) under a cooperative agreement
where technical assistance is provided to Tribes to assist in building
organizational capacity so that Tribes may operate their own foster
care programs under title IV-E of the Social Security Act. Under the
agreement, Tribal Law and Policy Institute identifies promising
practices in Tribal child welfare systems, identifies and effectively
implements community, and culturally-based strategies and resources
that strengthen Tribal child and family services.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Tribes receiving funding under title IV-B,
subpart 1, are required to address in the Annual Progress and Services
Report (APSR) how the Health Care Oversight and Coordination plan
requirements are being met for Tribal children in foster care. The
NRC4Tribes will address this need through the following:
1. The NRC4Tribes will convene a technical assistance key informant
workgroup on the topic of Title IV-B Plan Prescription Medication
Oversight for American Indian/Alaska Native children in tribal foster
care systems. Tribal input will also be elicited to determine what type
of technical assistance can support tribes in the development of
prescription medication oversight plans.
2. Based upon the information gathered during these meetings and
telephone calls the NRC4Tribes, with input from the technical
assistance key informant workgroup, will develop easy to understand
step-by-step recommendations for tribes to follow in development of
their plan for oversight and coordination of health care services for
children in foster care.
Additional training and technical assistance will be provided
through peer-to-peer training and technical assistance, webinars,
training teleconferences, and resource materials located on the
NRC4Tribes Web site.
Statutory Authority: Section 476(c)(2)(iii) of the Social
Security Act, as amended by the Fostering Connections to Success and
Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-351).
