SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Section 511(e)(8)(A) of title V of the Social Security
Act requires that grantees under the Tribal MIECHV program, in the
first year of their grants, submit an implementation plan on how they
will meet the requirements of the program. 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.
The ACF Office of Early Childhood Development, in collaboration
with the Health Resources and Services Administration, Maternal and
Child Health Bureau awarded grants for the Tribal MIECHV Program to
support cooperative agreements to conduct community needs assessments;
plan for
[[Page 7979]]
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.
During the first grant year, Tribal Home Visiting grantees must
comply with the requirement to submit an implementation plan that
should feature planned activities to be carried out under the program
in years 2-5 of their cooperative agreements. To assist grantees with
meeting these requirements, ACF created guidance for grantees to use
when writing their plans. The DIG and IEG guidance specify that
grantees must provide a plan to address the following areas:
<bullet> Community Needs and Readiness Assessment
<bullet> Program Design
<bullet> Program Blueprint
<bullet> Plan for Data Collection, Management and Performance
Measurement
<bullet> Fidelity Monitoring and Quality Assurance
Respondents: Tribal Home Visiting Managers (information collection
does not include direct interaction with individuals or families that
receive the services).
