In the third part, the tenderer shall propose models for taking care of children's involvement before parents decide to be a foster home, during the foster home period and after the foster child has moved out. The overall aim of the project is to obtain new knowledge that can contribute to the prevention of unintentional breaches of foster home placements when these are due to parents' considerations to their own children. The intention in the project is to use qualitative approaches that shall thoroughly examine the challenges that biological children have as foster siblings and what is important to prepare and take care of them. The methods will follow the requirements for research design and will be used systematically. The project consists of several parts, of the which the empirical parts, in which new knowledge will be obtained, will make up the largest part of the project. The project is, thus, seen as R&D, cf. the definition in the Frascati Manual, OECD. In addition, the project fulfils the requirements for applied research and the benefits are not only for the contracting authority. Thus the requirements in paragraphs 2-5 in the Public Procurement Regulations are deemed to be met. 2017-07-03 Norsk institutt for forskning om oppvekst, velferd og aldring Oslo 2353937.00 Barne-, ungdoms- og familiedirektoratet Oslo 2017-08-09
