Title: Study of Early Head Start-Child
Care Partnerships.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) in the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) has awarded 275 Early
Head Start expansion and Early Head
Start-child care partnership grants in 50
states; Washington, DC; Puerto Rico;
and the Northern Mariana Islands.
These grants will allow new or existing
Early Head Start programs to partner
with local child care centers and family
child care providers to expand highquality early learning opportunities for
infants and toddlers from low-income
families.
ACF is proposing to conduct a
descriptive study of the new partnership
grantees to document the characteristics
and features of partnerships and the
activities that aim to improve
professional development and quality of
services and better meet the needs of
families. The study will focus on the
grantees that have received funds for
Early Head Start-child care partnership
grants.
The proposed data collection for the
descriptive Study of Early Head Start-
Child Care Partnerships will include
two components: (1) Surveys of 311
partnership grantee and delegate agency
directors and a randomly selected
sample of 933 child care partners, and
(2) in-depth follow-up case studies of 12
purposively selected partnerships.
The goal of this work is to collect
descriptive information about
partnership grantees and delegate
agencies, child care partners, and
services and quality improvement
activities implemented as part of the
partnerships and explore how particular
partnership models operate. These data
will be used to describe the national
landscape of partnerships, fill a
knowledge gap about partnership
models implemented in the field, lay
the groundwork for future research, and
provide information to inform technical
assistance and actions aimed at
informing the Early Head Start-child
care partnerships grant initiative.
Respondents: Partnership grantee and
delegate agency directors; child care
partner managers/owners; partnership
staff who focus on coordinating
activities among partners, monitoring
compliance with the Head Start Program
Performance Standards, and providing
technical assistance and training;
frontline staff; parents; and other state
and local stakeholders (such as staff
from child care resource and referral
agencies or child care subsidy
administrators).

The
Administration for Native Americans
(ANA), Administration for Children and
Families, has awarded an emergency
single source grant to the Oglala Sioux
Tribe (OST) for programs whose goal is
to empower youth ages 8 to 24 to make
changes in their communities, to be
proud of their heritage, and to inspire
them to celebrate life so that they may
see that there is a positive future for
them. It is intended that this program
will have a 24-month project period so
that another 12-month budget period
will be funded noncompetitively for
$400,000 in FY 2016. In testimony
before the Senate Committee on Indian
Affairs on June 24, 2015, Oglala Sioux
Tribe President John Yellowbird Steele’s
testimony stated that 11 young people
on the Pine Ridge Reservation have been
lost to suicide since December. In
addition, at least another 176 of the
youth have attempted suicide in that
period, according to the Indian Health
Service, and 229 more were treated for
suicidal ideation.
The awarded project is designed to
increase positive youth empowerment
activities in all nine districts on the Pine
Ridge Indian Reservation through the
development of Student Youth
Councils, peer to peer mentoring, and
Lakota cultural awareness activities.
The award was made under ANA’s
program for Social and Economic
Development Strategies (SEDS). The
OST has been designated as a Federal
government Promise Zone, because of
the severe financial and economic status
in the area in which they live. The Pine
Ridge Reservation is also located in
Shannon County, which is often
referred to as the poorest county in the
United States.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Statutory Authority: This program is
authorized under § 803(a) of the Native
American Programs Act of 1974 (NAPA), 42
