The information collected under this generic clearance is intended to inform the diagnosis and design, as well as the evaluation, of up to 9 sites that will be rigorously tested in the Behavioral Interventions to Advance Self-Sufficiency Next Generation (BIAS-NG) project. Due to the rapid and iterative nature of this work, the Administration for Children and Familiesâ (ACF) Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation sought and received approval for a generic clearance to conduct this research.

This request is to extend approval of the ACF BIAS-NG Project Overarching Generic (#0970-0502) for an additional three years and add up to one new site, for a total of up to nine sites.
