To ensure fair distribution of limited resources, the following guidelines have been developed. FRIENDS will make every effort to remain flexible and to respond to as many requests for T/TA as possible. Requests for on-site training and technical assistance must come from the CBCAP State Lead Agency.
1. One request from each State for an on-site training and technical assistance (T/TA) visit of up to three days will be considered during the first six months of each Federal fiscal year (October 1 – March 31).
2. If travel funds are still available, an additional request for on-site T/TA will be considered from each State during the second half of each federal fiscal year (April 1 – September 30).
PROCESS
- Requesting on-site training and technical assistance begins with a call to your FRIENDS T/TA Coordinator to discuss your request.
- Your T/TA Coordinator will complete an on-site intake form and send it to the interested parties for review within one week.
- Once the on-site form is reviewed and approved, FRIENDS staff will identify the provider best suited to performing the requested T/TA.
- Once a provider is selected, the T/TA Coordinator will submit a copy of the on-site form to the CBCAP Federal Project Officer, Melissa Lim Brodowski, and the appropriate regional contact for the receiving state.
- Following the on-site T/TA visit, another letter or e-mail message describing the assistance received (including dates, location, participants and satisfaction regarding whether intended outcomes were met) should be sent by the state on-site contact to Linda Baker, FRIENDS Director, at lbaker3@nc.rr.com with courtesy copies sent to your regional office contact person and Melissa Lim Brodowski at mbrodowski@acf.hhs.gov.
If you have any questions about the FRIENDS on-site T/TA request process, please feel free to contact your State T/TA Coordinator.
