    Abstract: The Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) is 
sponsoring a 24-month study entitled, ``Targeted Evaluation of State 
Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agency practices'', which will collect 
information about VR agency practices in several areas. As part of the 
study, RSA plans to conduct a one-time survey of state VR agencies to 
collection information about their use of quality assurance procedures 
and third-party cooperative arrangements. The study will identify 
promising practices, analyze the effects of specific practices on VR 
program outcomes and consumers served, and provide information to 
assist RSA in its efforts to help state agencies ensure effective and 
efficient delivery of VR services. (A third topic included in the study 
will be addressed though other activities.)
