SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Section 511(e)(8)(A) of Title V of the Social Security
Act requires that grantees under the MIECHV Program for states and
jurisdictions submit an annual and a final report to the Secretary of
Health and Human Services regarding the program and activities carried
out under the program, including such data and information as the
Secretary shall require. Section 511(h)(2)(A) further states that the
requirements for the MIECHV grants to tribes, tribal organizations, and
urban Indian organizations are to be consistent, to the greatest extent
practicable, with the requirements for grantees under the MIECHV
Program for states and jurisdictions.
ECD, in collaboration with the Health Resources and Services
Administration, Maternal and Child Health Bureau awarded grants for the
Tribal MIECHV Program (Tribal Home Visiting) to support 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; establish, measure,
and report on progress toward meeting performance measures in six
legislatively mandated benchmark areas; and conduct rigorous evaluation
activities to build the knowledge base on home visiting among Native
populations.
After the first grant year, Tribal Home Visiting grantees must
comply with the requirement to submit an annual report to the Secretary
that should feature activities carried out under the program during the
past reporting period, and a final report to the Secretary during the
final year of their grant. To assist grantees with meeting these
requirements, ACF created guidance for grantees to use when writing
their reports. The annual and final report guidance specifies that
grantees must address the following:
<bullet> Update and reflections on meeting Home Visiting Program Goals
and Objectives
<bullet> Update and reflections on Home Visiting Programs in Targeted
Community(ies)
<bullet> Update and reflections on meeting Legislatively Mandated
Benchmark Requirements
<bullet> Update and reflections on Rigorous Evaluation Activities
<bullet> Update and reflections on Home Visiting Program Continuous
Quality Improvement (CQI) Efforts
<bullet> Update and reflections on Dissemination Activities
<bullet> Update and reflections on Administration of Home Visiting
Program
<bullet> Update and reflections on Technical Assistance Needs
Previously, the guidance included information about both the annual
and the final reports from grantees. In 2021, ECD separated out the
annual report guidance and received OMB approval for that in September
2021. ECD is now requesting review of guidance specific to the final
report.
Respondents: Tribal Home Visiting Managers (information collection
does not include direct interaction with individuals or families that
receive the services).
