Abstract: The Head Start Act requires that actual population and services data be collected from Head Start and Early Head Start grantees and delegate agencies. PIR is the primary tool for collecting data in the areas of program management, services provided to children, and demographic data about enrolled children and their families. The principle users of the data include local program management, ACF Regional stall, and ACYF Central staff. The data is disseminated widely to other interested parties, including Congress, policy makers at the State level, Training and Tech Assistance providers, and researchers.
