TITLE
OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early
Childhood Home Visiting Program Form 4: Quarterly Performance
Reporting Form
PURPOSE: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is seeking approval under the Generic for Performance Progress Reports (PPR) for a form that is used to collect quarterly data from Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) grantees. The Quarterly Performance Reporting Form (Attachment 1) is made up of 5 categories of data – program capacity, place-based services, family engagement, staff recruitment and retention and staff vacancies. This form is used by Tribal MIECHV grantees that receive grants under the Tribal MIECHV program administered by ACF. The information provided is used by ACF to determine the caseload capacity grantees are achieving, where services are being delivered, the retention and attrition of enrolled families, and the retention and attrition of program staff on a quarterly basis. The objectives for this data collection activity is to provide ACF with timely updates to service utilization and performance data variables that have the potential to change on a frequent basis. ACF will use this information to assist in grants monitoring activities and to target technical assistance resources to underperforming grantees.
This instrument is currently approved under OMB# 0970-0525 (expiration date 3/31/2021). Since the purpose and use of the form aligns with the overarching purpose and use outlined in the Generic PPR (OMB # 0970-0490), ACF is requesting to move the form under this OMB #.
There are no changes proposed to the currently approved form and there have only been minor changes to the terms and definitions appendix.
DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS: Tribal MIECHV grantees. Examples of a respondent may be a grantee program manager, data manager or supervisor.
CERTIFICATION:
I certify the following to be true:
The collection is in compliance with HHS regulations.

Information gathered is meant primarily for program improvement and accountability.
