COVID-19 Research and Resources

Three overarching questions frame our pandemic-related learning:

1. How does the COVID-19 pandemic and recovery efforts affect ACF programs and service delivery?
2. How do current and potential recipients of ACF services experience the COVID-19 pandemic?
3. How do OPRE technical assistance efforts contribute to evidence building and program improvement during the COVID-19 pandemic?

In the last year, over 60 OPRE projects planned or began collecting and analyzing information relevant to our learning questions. Explore relevant research and resources from OPRE published to date:
