💡 Tips for applicants
- Demonstrate your state's readiness to implement ITC by showing existing court-social services collaboration and willing target communities.
- Connect the ITC approach to your state's child welfare priorities and outcomes data from similar evidence-based programs.
- Plan clearly for training local ITC teams and spreading lessons learned within your state beyond initial target communities.
- Build partnerships with local courts, child welfare agencies, and family organizations before applying to show commitment.
- Use evaluation and outcome tracking data to show how you'll monitor program success and adjust implementation.
⚠️ Common mistakes
Applications fail when states lack demonstrated partnerships between courts and child welfare agencies. Weak evaluation plans or unclear strategies for scaling beyond initial pilot sites hurt competitiveness. Vague descriptions of how you'll train and support local ITC teams signal poor implementation readiness.
