SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The MIECHV Program authorizes the Secretary of HHS (in
section 511(h)(2)(A)) to award grants to Indian tribes (or a consortium
of Indian tribes), tribal organizations, or urban Indian organizations
to conduct an early childhood home visiting program. The legislation
set aside 3 percent of the total MIECHV program appropriation for
grants to tribal entities. Tribal MIECHV grants, to the greatest extent
practicable, are to be consistent with the requirements of the MIECHV
grants to states and jurisdictions and include conducting a needs
assessment and establishing quantifiable, measurable benchmarks.
The ACF, Office of Ealy Childhood Development (ECD), in
collaboration with the Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA), Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB), awards grants for the
Tribal MIECHV Program. The Tribal MIECHV grant awards support 5-year
cooperative agreements to conduct community needs assessments; plan for
and implement high-quality, culturally relevant, evidence-based home
visiting programs in at-risk tribal communities; collect and report on
performance measures; and participate in research and evaluation
activities to build the knowledge base on home visiting among Native
populations.
Specifically, the MIECHV legislation requires that State and Tribal
MIECHV grantees collect performance data to measure improvements for
eligible families in six specified areas (referred to as ``benchmark
areas'') that encompass the major goals of the program. These include:
1. Improved maternal and newborn health;
2. Prevention of child injuries, child abuse, neglect, or
maltreatment, and reduction in emergency department visits;
3. Improvement in school readiness and achievement;
4. Reduction in crime or domestic violence;
5. Improvement in family economic self-sufficiency; and
6. Improvement in the coordination and referrals for other
community resources and supports.
Tribal MIECHV grantees are required to propose a plan for meeting
the benchmark requirements specified in the legislation and must report
on improvement in constructs under each benchmark area. Tribal Home
Visiting (HV) Form 2 will provide a template for Tribal MIECHV grantees
to report data on their progress in improving performance under the six
benchmark areas, as stipulated in the legislation.
ACF will continue to use Tribal HV Form 2 to:
<bullet> Track and improve the quality of benchmark measures data
submitted by the Tribal grantees;
<bullet> Improve program monitoring and oversight;
<bullet> Improve rigorous data analyses that help to assess the
effectiveness of the programs and enable ACF to better monitor
projects; and
<bullet> Ensure adequate and timely reporting of program data to
relevant federal agencies and stakeholders including Congress and
members of the public.
Respondents: Tribal MIECHV Grantees.
