Synopsis

The Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) plans to solicit applications for Reflective Supervision in Home Visiting Research Awards. This funding opportunity will support projects that use the Supervisory Practices in Reflective Supervision-Home Visiting (SuPRS-HV) (https://acf.gov/opre/report/measure-manual-supervisor-practices-reflective-supervision-home-visiting-suprs-hv) measure to research and evaluate reflective supervision in early childhood home visiting. These awards will support partnerships with home visiting programs, including at least one funded by the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Program (MIECHV) to do one or more of the following: 1) Further how reflective supervision is measured (e.g., explore additional aspects of the validity not explored in the measure development, adapt the measure for supervisees, validate against observational measures); 2) Use SuPRS-HV to understand how reflective supervision practices may affect outcomes (e.g., for home visitors, for home visitor-family relationships, or for families); 3) Develop tools to help home visiting programs use SuPRS-HV to improve practice (e.g., for monitoring performance or quality improvement); and/or 4) Use SuPRS-HV to describe how reflective supervision practices vary (e.g., by communities, staff characteristics, populations served). Findings from these projects will inform early childhood home visiting policy, practice, or research and help people in the field better understand reflective supervision practices.
