of a currently approved information
collection (OMB No. 0970–0398). The
purpose of the extension is to complete
the ongoing follow-up data collection
for the Personal Responsibility
Education Program (PREP) MultiComponent Evaluation, which was
designed to document how PREP
programs are designed and
implemented in the field, collect
performance measure data for PREP
programs, and assess the effectiveness of
selected PREP-funded programs.
The PREP Multi-Component
Evaluation contains three components:
A Design and Implementation Study, a
Performance Analysis Study, and an
Impact and In-Depth Implementation
Study. Data collection related to the

Title: Variations in Implementation of
Quality Interventions (VIQI) Project:
Data Collection.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), Office of
Planning, Research and Evaluation
(OPRE) proposes to collect information
as part of the Variations in
Implementation of Quality Interventions
(VIQI): Examining the Quality-Child
Outcomes Relationship in Child Care
and Early Education Project.
The VIQI Project will inform
policymakers, practitioners, and
stakeholders about effective ways to
support the quality and effectiveness of
early care and education (ECE) centers
for promoting young children’s learning
and development. In partnership with
ECE centers across the United States
that serve young children with diverse
economic backgrounds, the VIQI Project
aims to (1) identify dimensions of
quality within ECE settings that are key
levers for promoting children’s
outcomes; (2) inform what levels of
quality are necessary to successfully
support children’s developmental gains;
(3) identify drivers that facilitate and
inhibit successful implementation of
interventions aimed at strengthening
quality; and (4) understand how these
relations vary across different ECE
settings, staff, and children. To achieve
these aims, the VIQI Project will include
a year-long pilot study that will pilot up
to three curricular and professional
development models, followed by a
year-long impact evaluation and process
study that involve testing the
effectiveness of two curricular and
professional development models that
aim to strengthen teacher practices, the

quality of classroom processes, and
children’s outcomes. The study will
include up to 189 community-based and
Head Start ECE centers spread across
seven different metropolitan areas in the
United States.
To test the effectiveness of the
curricular and professional
development models, the VIQI project
will consist of a 3- or 4-group
experimental design in the pilot study
and a 3-group experimental design in
the impact evaluation and the process
study in which the initial quality and
other characteristics of ECE centers are
measured. The centers then will be
stratified based upon select information
collected—by setting type (e.g., Head
Start and community-based ECE
centers) and initial levels of quality—
and randomly assigned to one of the
intervention conditions where they will
be offered curricular and professional
development supports aimed at
strengthening the quality of classroom
and teacher practices, or to a businessas-usual comparison condition.
In the pilot study, 24 centers in one
metropolitan area will participate in the
VIQI Project. Information about center
and staff characteristics and classroom
and teacher practices will be collected
(1) to stratify and randomly assign
centers; (2) to describe how the different
interventions are implemented and are
experienced by centers and teachers;
and (3) to document the treatment
differentials across research conditions.
The information will then be used to
adjust and to refine the research design
and measures that will be used in the
impact evaluation and process study.
In the impact evaluation and process
study, 165 centers in seven metropolitan
areas will participate in the VIQI
Project. Information about center and
staff characteristics and classroom and
teacher practices will be collected (1) to
stratify and randomly assign centers; (2)
to identify subgroups of interest; (3) to
describe how the interventions are
implemented and are experienced by
