“…Not fully recognized until the late 1980s, Title IV-E comes with limitations that may be worth reconsidering and accounting for in future policy work. Namely, the Title IV-E monies need to be expanded to include all areas of child welfare and not only concerned with out of home placement as it stands currently (Zlotnik, 2003 knowledge and subsequent skills development (Zlotnik, 2003). As a result, it may be better to raise the reimbursement rate or initially provide more training capital upfront to those invested in the training of child welfare workers (Drabble et al, 2013).…”

“…Initially Title IV-E (Drabble et al, 2013) was passed in 1980 which indeed attempted to bring together varied parties from multiple fields to research child maltreatment, however that funding stream can be limited at times and the majority of which is dedicated to training workers and not funding prevention/intervention research or policy reform efforts (Drabble et al, 2013;Zlotnik, 2003).…”

“…Title IV-E training programs strive to maximize the potential of university-community partnerships in preparing students for practice in public child welfare settings (Collins-Camargo & Hoffman, 2006;Risley-Curtiss, 2003;Zlotnik, 2003). Although there is a growing recognition of the importance of university-community partnerships with an explicit focus on research (Begun, et al, 2010), there is a dearth of information in the literature describing partnered research models designed to facilitate collaborative research in the context of child welfare, including federally funded child welfare educational programs and other related initiatives.…”

University-community partnerships are increasingly recognized as valuable in educating students for professional practice and bridging the gap between research and practice. This manuscript describes the evolution and design of a university-community partnership between a School of Social Work in one urban university and local child welfare agencies: the Child Welfare Partnership for Research and Training (CW-PART). This local partnership illustrates types of opportunities and outcomes that emerge when state and local entities leverage greater results from federal funding through partnerships with local universities. The manuscript describes 1), the community-engaged framework used to inform the overall approach and partner roles; 2) evolution of the model from early partnered research successes; 3) core elements of the CW PART university-community partnered research model, and 4) preliminary lessons learned from the pilot phase of model. Acknowledgements: The Child Welfare Partnership for Research and Training is funded by the California Social Work Education Center (CalSWEC).

“…It was at that point that most states began to treat the child welfare position as just another government job that simply required a bachelor's degree or, in a few states, merely a high school diploma (Ellett & Leighninger, 2007). Social work scholars of child welfare have some evidence to argue that this deprofessionalization of child welfare is a root cause for many of the failures of the system and tragic outcomes for families and children who encounter the system (Franklin, Jordan, & Hopson, 2008;Specht & Courtney, 1994, Zlotnik, 2003.…”
