A Child Welfare Research Agenda for the State of Illinois, 1999 (Executive Summary)
Children and Family Research Center

The agenda, created to assist in the linkage between research and practice, is the result of many discussions between the Center and DCFS workers, supervisors, and administrators; various advisory groups, child welfare service provider agencies, and advocacy groups; LAN providers and foster parents; and researchers and experts in the field. The resulting document is a guide to help set the direction for knowledge building in child welfare research and to help provide a firm footing for Research-Based Practice in the State of Illinois.
