TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Innovation Technical Assistant Center (ITAC) Satisfaction Surveys

PURPOSE: The purpose of this information collection request is to assess participant satisfaction with various training and technical assistance (TA) activities offered through a contracted TA provider, Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Innovation Technical Assistant Center (ITAC). ITAC supports the MIECHV Program Innovation awardees to develop, implement, and evaluate innovations that leverage new technology and/or data collection and sharing strategies to improve the delivery and extend the impact of high-quality early childhood home visiting programs. The overall purpose of the ITAC satisfaction surveys is to collect immediate awardee feedback on their TA experiences to make continuous improvements to service delivery. The contractor will protect the integrity of the data collected, provide opportunities for honest feedback, and maintain the confidentiality of survey participants. Data analysis for each tool will include basic descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis of responses.
