Legacy is a multisite, randomized controlled trial (RCT) examining the potential for improving child developmental outcomes through parenting programs designed to promote self-efficacy and a sense of community. Two research sites, the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), and the University of Miami participated in the study. The first contract was to implement the intervention and assess and follow the children prenatally or from birth until age 5. In the first phase of the study, 615 participants were enrolled into the study and randomly assigned into intervention and comparison groups. Eligibility was mainly based on indicators of low income and on geographic location. Some interventions that resulted in initial significant improvements in outcomes found the effect to fade at later age points (e.g., Infant Health and Development Program), whereas other interventions documented significant positive findings many years after the intervention was completed (Perry Preschool Project, Abecedarian Project). To properly understand the potential impact of Legacy for Children TM on children's long term healthy development, we must follow children beyond the preschool years. The purpose of this new contract is to establish ongoing outcome evaluation for this early childhood intervention program (Legacy), following children into the school years. The goal of this study is to test the long term efficacy of an early intervention model intended to promote child development through influencing parenting behavior. Three assessment periods are proposed-- ages 8, 10, and 12 years-- in order to capture cognitive, behavioral and socio-emotional outcomes during the early and middle school-age years, as well as the beginning of adolescence. These assessment periods parallel those from other parenting intervention studies and are critical periods when learning and behavioral/ socio-emotional problems emerge. Identifying these problems and assessing the impact of the early parenting intervention on these key developmental outcomes is an important step towards prevention of childhood disorders. Results from this study will provide data to influence state and national policies and to guide services for young children and their families. The collected data will inform the public whether these intervention services, delivered during the early years of life, can influence long-term educational and social outcomes such as school performance, employment, dependence on social services, antisocial and criminal behavior, and family unity. The project being proposed is a phased contract consisting of three phases. Phase 1: Preparatory work and start up, 12 months Phase 2: Data collection and Assessment: 6-7 years Phase 3: Project completion, 6 months, following completion of at least age 12, assessment The proposed staff should have substantial research experience in childhood intervention with knowledge of applied research methodology. In addition the offeror should have experience in working with at risk and ethnically diverse populations; especially in determining appropriate assessment methods for maintaining sample size with these populations. The Principal Investigator should be experienced in child development; longitudinal research and evaluation methods; assessment methodology; data collection/management and be available for providing adequate input to the research activities. The contractor shall, acting independently and not as an agent of the Government, provide all labor, supervision, equipment, materials, supplies, travel, transportation and perform all work necessary to perform the study. This solicitation is a full and open competition. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Procurement and Grants Office (PGO). The CDC intends to select a single award from this solicitation for a cost plus fixed fee contract. The period of performance is date of award to March 09, 2018. All deliverables to be disseminated to the programs or the public will comply with Section 508 (29 U.S.C. 794d) standards and requirements of the Rehabilitation Act.
