OMB 0970-0307

The State Court Improvement Program (CIP) provides federal funding to state courts to assess their child welfare and judicial practices and develop and implement improvement plans. Two collections are necessary to properly administer the State CIP: an annual year-end self-assessment report with an updated strategic plan, both approved under this OMB number. This current request includes revisions to reflect new legislation as well as to support technical assistance. Authorizing legislation makes it clear that an application is required in order for State courts to receive CIP funding. See supplementary document titled SSA Section 438 for additional information.

The latest form for State Court Improvement Program expires 2029-01-31 and is listed under ICR 202511-0970-007.
