Chapter 35). To request a copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, e-mail paperwork@hrsa.gov or call the HRSA Reports Clearance Office at (301) 443– 1129. The following request has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995: Background: The National Healthy Start Program, funded through the Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB), was developed in 1991 with the goal of reducing infant mortality disparities in high-risk populations through community-based interventions. The program originally began as a five-year demonstration project within 15 communities that had infant mortality rates 1.5 to 2.5 times above the national average. The National Healthy Start Program has since expanded in size and mission to include 102 grantees across the nation, emphasizing a communitybased, culturally competent approach to the delivery of care for women and their Responses per respondent 5.0 6 50 12 36,524 ..........................

MCHB seeks to conduct a crosssite evaluation of all Healthy Start grantees to document the accomplishments made by the National Healthy Start Program. Purpose: The purpose of the survey is to collect consistent data on the services and activities of all 102 Healthy Start grantees. The data collected though this survey will be used to: • Evaluate the grantees’ performance and progress toward achieving shortterm and long-term goals; • Evaluate the relationship of performance and progress to implementation features of Healthy Start Program components; • Assist MCHB in determining on a national level where technical assistance may be needed to improve program performance, set future priorities for program activities, and contribute to the overall strategic planning activities of MCHB; and • Provide foundation data for future measurement of the initiative’s longterm impact. Respondents: The project directors of Healthy Start grants funded by HRSA will be the respondents for this data collection activity.
