Head Start Program Grant Application

Key Information

Abstract

The Head Start Grant Application collects information from all Head Start and Early Head Start grant recipients for Head Start funding including program budgets and narratives. The information is collected on an annual basis when grant recipients apply for their annual funding. Prior to receiving annual Head Start federal funds, Head Start grant recipients must complete a grant application package which includes Head Start Grant Application tabs in the Head Start Enterprise System (HSES), an application and budget justification narrative, and upload other applicable documents. The Office of Head Start has identified nonsubstantive changes to the Head Start Grant Application to provide clarifications; ensure alignment with ACF-IM-HS-22-09 Enrollment Reductions and Conversion of Head Start Slots to Early Head Start Slots; and provide additional descriptions, tips, and reminders to improve the overall quality of applications. ACF has implemented changes in response to recent presidential actions.

Chafee Strengthening Outcomes for Transition to Adulthood (Chafee SOTA) Project Overarching Generic

Key Information

Abstract

The Administration for Children and Families’ (ACF) Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) seeks Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a new 3-year overarching generic clearance to submit individual information collection (GenIC) requests for evaluations of programs serving youth transitioning out of foster care as part of the Chafee SOTA Project. Potential data collection efforts will request similar information using similar methods, which could include conducting interviews, focus groups, and surveys with program directors (e.g., from programs serving youth with foster care experience and from their partner agencies) and current, past, or potential participants in programs serving youth with foster care experience (e.g., including potential participants who are included in comparison groups), as well as extracting administrative or other program data. The purpose of these efforts is to inform ACF programming by building evidence about what works to improve outcomes for the target population, and to identify innovative learning methods that address common evaluation challenges. The John H. Chafee Foster Care Program for Successful Transition to Adulthood (Chafee program) funds state and tribal programs that help youth with foster care experience to successfully transition to adulthood. When the Chafee program was created following the passage of the Foster Care Independence Act (FCIA) of 1999 (Public Law 106-169), the legislation required that a small percentage of funding be set aside for rigorous evaluations of independent living programs that are “innovative or of potential national significance.” In keeping with this directive, OPRE is conducting the Chafee SOTA project, which aims to utilize innovative methods for testing promising practices in programs serving youth transitioning out of foster care, and to improve the feasibility and rigor of evaluations that test the effectiveness of program services or components. The Chafee SOTA project builds on prior OPRE evaluations, which observed that for many programs, traditional, large-scale impact evaluations were not feasible due to issues such as program size, lack of appropriate comparison groups, or implementation challenges. The Chafee SOTA project will conduct evaluations of the effectiveness of program services and components in improving outcomes for youth and young adults transitioning out of foster care. To address the common evaluation challenges previously identified, these evaluations will utilize innovative methods tailored to each program, including rapid cycle learning techniques that require an iterative approach. An important aspect of research with this population and a guiding principle of the Chafee SOTA project is that evaluations need to be designed in consultation and partnership with young adults with lived experience. The iterative and rapid nature of the methods to be utilized, as well as the necessity of ongoing, authentic engagement of experts with lived experience, poses a challenge to complying with the timeline for seeking full approval of each individual information collection activity subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). Since OPRE knows the types of methods that will be used and types of information that will be requested but does not yet know what will be needed to tailor the information to each site, OPRE is seeking approval for an overarching generic clearance to conduct this work. For each GenIC, instruments will be tailored to the specific intervention and the specific site; once a set of instruments for a particular site is developed, and prior to use in the field, OPRE will submit a supporting statement Part A and B and the specific instruments to be used to OMB for approval.

Healthy Marriage and Responsible Fatherhood Performance Measures and Additional Data Collection

Key Information

Abstract

For decades, various organizations and agencies (including community- and faith-based organizations, local governments, and universities) have been developing and operating programs to strengthen families through healthy marriage and relationship education and responsible fatherhood programming. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Family Assistance (OFA), has had administrative responsibility for federal funding of such programs since 2006 through the Healthy Marriage (HM) and Responsible Fatherhood (RF) Grant Programs. The authorizing legislation for the programs may be found in Section 403(a)(2) of the Social Security Act. Grant recipients receiving funding for HM programs offer services designed to promote healthy marriage and relationships. Legislatively authorized activities for adults include public advertising campaigns, marriage and relationship education/skills, pre-marital education, marriage enhancement, divorce reduction, marriage mentoring, and reduction of disincentives to marriage. Legislatively authorized activities for youth include education in high schools, marriage and relationship education/skills, and public advertising campaigns. RF grant recipients must provide legislatively authorized activities in three areas: economic stability, responsible parenting, and healthy marriage. ACF requires HMRF grant recipients to collect and report performance measures about program operations, services, and clients served. ACF provides a performance measures data collection system called nFORM (Information, Family Outcomes, Reporting, and Management) to grant recipients to improve the efficiency of data collection and reporting and the quality of data. This system allows for streamlined and standardized submission of grant recipient performance data through regular progress reports, and it also supports grant recipient-led and federal research projects. Grant recipients are required by ACF’s Office of Grants Management (OGM) to submit a Performance Progress Report (PPR) twice during each grant year (in October and April), reporting on the programmatic activities conducted by the grant recipient in the prior six months and activities planned for the next six months. The semi-annual PPR (Instrument 5) and the quarterly performance report templates (QPR, Instrument 6) fulfill these requirements for the HMRF grant recipients. The performance measures data collection and reporting instruments for the 2020 cohort were approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB #0970-0566) in 2021. The instruments have been used as planned. Through September 29, 2023 (the end of grant year 3), grant recipients in the 2020 cohort had enrolled 103,444 clients, administered the OMB-approved survey instruments, and submitted the OMB-approved reports to ACF to meet reporting requirements. In addition, the data have been used to support numerous federal and grant recipient-led evaluations of the HMRF programs. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

Pre-testing of ACF Data Collection Activities

Key Information

Abstract

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeks renewal of this generic data collection development clearance to allow us to use samples of more than nine participants in applying methods useful for identifying data collection material and procedural problems, and pretesting questions and procedures. This will allow for identification of solutions and measuring the relative effectiveness of alternative solutions and for identification of appropriate questions to meet the intended purposes and uses of data collection efforts. The ACF Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) studies ACF programs, and the populations they serve, through rigorous research and evaluation projects. These include evaluations of existing programs, evaluations of innovative approaches to helping low-income children and families, research syntheses and descriptive and exploratory studies. This umbrella generic was originally written and has been used for pretesting research and evaluation data collection efforts primarily by OPRE. ACF program offices also collect data for a variety of purposes including but not limited to performance reporting and monitoring of funding recipients; understanding of the populations served including who they are, what their needs are, and how we can serve them better; program and service improvement feedback; research and evaluation; etc. For this reason, ACF proposes to broaden the scope of this generic to include pretesting of data elements used on information collections that are not specifically for research and evaluation. This could be used to inform a variety of data collection efforts in ACF to allow for consistent data requests across program offices that are high quality and appropriate for program office needs and for respondents who represent ACF program populations. This generic clearance will continue to allow us to identify if and when an information collection may be simplified for respondents, respondent burden may be reduced, among other possible improvements. The work completed under this generic is intended to be informative in nature; the studies may be iterative, as variation in questions or procedures are proposed, evaluated, and retested. The pretesting of data collection materials is necessary to improve future ACF information collections, resulting in higher quality data with the best possible utility for the government and its stakeholders, when appropriate. The core methodology and target populations will be consistent and burden caps and token of appreciation structure are proposed in this request. Updates to individual GenICs and the umbrella SSA are currently being submitted to make updates in response to recent presidential actions in 2025.

Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) Performance Measures

Key Information

Abstract

The consequences of adolescent sexual activity remain a critical social and economic issue in the United States, shaping the lives of thousands of teens and their families every year. Despite declining births to teen mothers over the past 25 years, the teen birthrate in the United States remains higher than that in other industrialized countries and varies widely across geographic regions and racial/ethnic groups (Martin et al. 2017). Further, adolescents and young adults account for half of all new sexually transmitted infection (STI) cases each year (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2022). Sexual activity in youth is also related to engaging in other risky behaviors such as alcohol and substance use. In March 2010, Congress authorized the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). PREP provides grants to states, tribes and tribal communities, and community organizations to support evidence-based programs to reduce teen pregnancy and STIs. The programs are required to provide education on both abstinence and contraceptive use. The programs also offer information on adulthood preparation subjects such as healthy relationships, adolescent development, financial literacy, parent–child communication, education and employment skills, and healthy life skills. Grantees are encouraged to target their programming to high-risk populations—for example, youth in foster care, homeless youth, youth with HIV/AIDS, pregnant youth who are under age 21, mothers who are under age 21, and youth residing in geographic areas with high teen birth rates. The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) Modernization Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-352) requires federal agencies to report annually on measures of program performance. It is essential that PREP grantees report the performance data described in this information collection request to enable the Administration for Children and Families to carry out its reporting requirements to Congress and the Office of Management and Budget. This request seeks to (1) to extend the previously approved data collection of the performance measures from PREP grantees with proposed revisions. Specifically, ACF is requesting approval to eliminate the requirement for grantees to aggregate participant survey data to the program level for submission starting with the 2023-2024 data. Updates made to program-level data collection forms (Instruments 3b and 4b) reflect this request. Grantees will continue to use the currently approved data collection forms (Instruments 3a and 4a) for submission of 2022-2023 data. Additionally, we are requesting a study name change from Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) Performance Measures and Adulthood Preparation Subjects Study (PREP PMAPS) to Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) Performance Measures, as the data collection for the Adulthood Preparation Subjects Study is complete. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

Testing Identified Elements for Success in Fatherhood Programs

Key Information

Abstract

This is the second of two information collection requests for the Testing Identified Elements for Success in Fatherhood Programs (Fatherhood TIES) study. The first request (approved December 7, 2023) included consent for participants to enter the study, baseline data collection, and data collection about program processes and outcomes during the study period to support the study team’s understanding of implementation and how it could be improved. In this second request, approval is being sought for the remainder of study data collection which seeks to gather additional information about program implementation and outcomes. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

Administration for Children and Families Generic for Information Collections related to Gatherings

Key Information

Abstract

This request is to establish a new umbrella generic clearance for the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to request information from potential participants at ACF gatherings, such as meetings or conferences. This may include large scale conferences, meetings for grantees or contractors, workshops, trainings, poster sessions, and other in-person and virtual gatherings for individuals with interest in ACF programs (clients, researchers, policymakers, etc.), among others. To ensure ACF has adequate information to plan these activities, the Agency must often collect information from potential participants such as basic contact information, preferences for attendance (mode, special requests, etc.), organizational affiliation, feedback about meeting content, etc. Additionally, some activities require ACF to have additional information to have the means to select the most appropriate participants for attendance according to the type or purpose of a given activity, or to group participants into the most appropriate category or activity during an event. This may include information about poster presentations, speaking panels, training courses, professional perspectives or experiences, etc. In addition, attendees may be asked to submit an application or abstract for prescreening to be selected for attendance. The planning for meetings is most often on a quick timeline and the standard timeline to comply with a full request under the Paperwork Reduction Act would inhibit the ability to collect information to inform these activities. Therefore, an umbrella generic is necessary to allow for quick turnaround requests for similar information collections related to these activities. As part of this generic, ACF requests OMB provide a response on individual generic information collections within 5 business days. If no response is received and the request meets the purposes, uses and scope outlined in this document, ACF may move forward with the proposed information collection.

[NCCDPHP] Message Testing for Tobacco Communication Activities

Key Information

Abstract

In 2012, CDC/OSH obtained OMB approval of a generic clearance to support the development of tobacco-related health messages (Message Testing for Tobacco Communication Activities (MTTCA), OMB No. 0920-0910). The MTTCA clearance has been used to obtain OMB approval for a variety of message testing activities. CDC is requesting OMB approval to extend the generic MTTCA clearance for three years. CDC will continue to use the MTTCA clearance to develop and test messages and materials for current and future phases of the ACA-funded media campaign, as well as OSH's ongoing programmatic initiatives including, but not limited to, the Media Campaign Resource Center, reports from the Office of the Surgeon General, and other communication efforts and materials. The MTTCA generic clearance may also be used to facilitate the development of tobacco-related health communications of interest for CDC collaborative efforts with other federal partners including, but not limited to, the Food and Drug Administration, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the National Institutes of Health, and the National Cancer Institute. The MTTCA clearance is sufficient to test tobacco related messages developed by CDC. No modification is requested for information collection activities or methodology. Non-Subsantive Change Request is submitted to modify questions in previously approved GenIC for compliance with recently issued EOs. There is no change to burden hours.

Assessing the Use of Coaching to Promote Positive Caregiver-Child Interactions in Early Childhood Home Visiting Through Rapid Cycle Learning

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection is part of the Assessing and Describing Practice Transitions Among Evidence-Based Home Visiting Programs in Response to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency Study, which aims to identify and study practices implemented in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency that support evidence-based practice and have the potential to enhance home visiting programming. One of the practices the study identified is the use of coaching to promote caregiver-child interactions and positive caregiving skills. Coaching involves a home visitor providing instructions to the parent or caregiver as they carry out the skill and differs from a common home visiting strategy, modeling, in which home visitors first demonstrate a skill themselves before asking the parent or caregiver to try it. The purpose of this information collection is to better understand, through rapid cycle learning, how MIECHV-funded home visiting programs can implement coaching strategies during home visits.

National Healthy Start Evaluation and Quality Assurance

Key Information

Abstract

The goal of this ongoing monitoring and evaluation is to assess Healthy Start (HS) progress towards meeting its performance goals. Results from monitoring and evaluation efforts will provide actionable evidence to support the improvement, sustainability, replication, and dissemination of the program. The information collected will be used to obtain consistent information across all 100 grantees about HS, its participants, and its outcomes. Respondents include pregnant women and women of reproductive age that were served by HS and HS staff. This revision seeks to reduce the burden of data collection on grantees and program participants, as well as to focus the evaluation more clearly on progress towards meeting performance goals regarding program impact. In the process, this will ensure that collected data is meaningful for monitoring and evaluation, and that previously separate data systems can be streamlined, thus improving efficiency.

Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant Application/Annual Report Guidance

Key Information

Abstract

The Application and Annual Report fulfill the requirements of Section 505 and Section 506, respectively, of the Title V legislation. Consistent with previous editions, the updated Application/Annual Report Guidance is designed to allow states flexibility in meeting the unique needs of their MCH populations while enabling the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) to meet the Title V legislative requirements, collect and utilize comparative data for addressing national and state MCH priorities, and demonstrate accountability in the use of the Federal Title V funds. The MCHB, in the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), serves as the Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary’s delegate to collect this information and to review it prior to the award of approximately $581 million annually in state formula grants under the MCH Block Grant. This is a revision request.

[NCBDDD] Population-based Surveillance of Outcomes, Needs, and Well-being of Children and Adolescents with Congenital Heart Defects

Key Information

Abstract

Data from U.S. state birth defect surveillance systems, or population-based studies derived from them, will be used to identify a population-based sample of children and adolescents 2 to 17 years of age born with congenital heart defects (CHD). Surveys will be mailed to their caregivers inquiring about the child’s cardiac and other healthcare utilization, barriers to health care, quality of life, social and educational outcomes, and transition of care from childhood to adulthood as well as the needs and experiences of caregivers. Collected information will be used to inform current knowledge, allocate resources, develop services, and, ultimately, improve long-term health of children and adolescents born with CHD. This change request is to update instruments based on current executive orders.
