Subject: Invitation to Participate in a Phone Interview about the National Center on Early Head Start Child Care Partnerships

Dear [FIRST NAME] [LAST NAME]

As you may recall, in the spring of [2016/2018] you completed a survey about your experiences with the National Center on Early Head Start Child Care Partnership (NCEHS-CCP). As you may know, Mathematica Policy Research conducted the survey as part of the NCEHS-CCP Evaluation commissioned by the NCEHS-CCP at ZERO TO THREE and funded by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

To follow up on the survey, we would like to contact you for a one hour phone interview about your experiences with the supports you have received from NCEHS-CCP. Participation is voluntary; however, your input will provide important information about NCEHS-CCP.

The interview will explore in more detail the T/TA support you have received from NCEHS-CCP, how that support has informed your work with EHS-CCP grantees, the quality of the support, successes and challenges, and suggestions for improvement. Your insight would be a valuable addition to the evaluation.

Within the next few weeks a member of our staff will contact you to coordinate a date and time to perform the interview at a time that is most convenient for you.

If you have any questions about your participation, please contact [NAME] at Mathematica Policy Research at [TELEPHONE] or [EMAIL]. Your time and contributions to this important study are greatly appreciated, and we look forward to speaking with you.

Sincerely,

[NAME]
