SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Section 511(e)(8)(A) of Title V of the Social Security
Act requires that grantees under the MIECHV program conduct a needs
assessment. Section 511(d) requires that grantees collect and report on
quantifiable, measurable 3- and 5-year benchmarks for demonstrating
that the program results in improvements for the eligible families
participating in the program across six benchmark areas, and section
511(d)(3) requires that grantees use the majority of funds to implement
evidence-based home visiting models. Section 511(h)(2)(A) further
states that the requirements for the MIECHV grants to tribes, tribal
organizations, and urban Indian organizations (i.e., Tribal MIECHV
grants) are to be consistent, to the greatest extent practicable, with
the requirements for grantees under the MIECHV program for states and
jurisdictions. ACF/ECD, 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 a (CNRA); 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 the six legislatively-mandated benchmark areas;
and participate in research and evaluation activities to build the
knowledge base on home visiting among Native populations.
During the first grant year, per the Notice of Funding Opportunity
for these awards, Tribal Home Visiting grantees must comply with the
requirement to conduct a CNRA and must also submit an implementation
plan that should outline planned activities to be carried out under the
program in years 2-5 of their cooperative agreements (including the
evidence-based model to be implemented and the plan for collecting and
reporting on benchmarks data). To assist grantees with meeting these
requirements, ACF created a CNRA and implementation guidance for
grantees to use when writing their plans. The CNRA Guidance and
Implementation Plan Guidance specifies that grant recipients must
provide a plan to address the following areas:
<bullet> CNRA
<bullet> Program Design
<bullet> Program Blueprint
<bullet> Plan for Data Collection, Management, and Performance
Measurement
<bullet> Plan for Using Data for Quality Assurance, Fidelity
Monitoring, and Program Improvement
Respondents: Tribal Home Visiting Managers (information collection
does not include direct interaction with individuals or families that
receive the services).
