name, organization name, description of
the submission, medical condition,
intervention, and email address. For the
purposes of meta-analyses, trial
summary data from missing and
unidentified studies are sought. For the
purposes of constructing evidence tables
and quality ratings (e.g., on public
reporting of cost measures or health
information exchange), data can vary
(e.g., URLs, study designs, and
consumer-mediated exchange forms).
Information on both completed and
ongoing studies is requested. Submitters
may alternatively email their
submission to the AHRQ EPC mailbox at
epc@ahrq.hhs.gov.
The EPC Program currently uses a
broad-based announcement via email
listserv and a Federal Register notice, as
needed, to publicize the opportunity to
submit scientific information about each
topic. AHRQ plans to conduct one
SEADS collection per topic. Up to
twenty-four topics per year with SEADS
portals are anticipated; over the past 5
years the number of SEADS portals has
ranged from 11–20, with an average
range of 0–5 potential respondents per
topic. The EPC Program does not
anticipate more than 40 topics per year
with SEADS portals.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 presents estimates of the
reporting burden hours for the data
collection efforts. Time estimates are
based on pilot testing of materials and
what can reasonably be requested of
respondents. The number of
respondents listed in ‘‘Number of
respondents’’ of Exhibit 1 reflects a
projected upper range response rate per
SEADS portal multiplied by the
anticipated upper limit of number of
SEADS portals per year, based on
historical information over the past 3
years.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The MIECHV Program
authorizes the Secretary of HHS (in
section 511(h)(2)(A)) to award grants to
Indian tribes (or a consortium of Indian
tribes), tribal organizations, or urban
Indian organizations to conduct an early
childhood home visiting program. The
legislation set aside 3 percent of the
total MIECHV program appropriation for
grants to tribal entities. Tribal MIECHV
grants, to the greatest extent practicable,
are to be consistent with the
requirements of the MIECHV grants to
states and jurisdictions and include
conducting a needs assessment and
establishing quantifiable, measurable
benchmarks.
The ACF, Office of Ealy Childhood
Development (ECD), in collaboration
with the Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA), Maternal and
Child Health Bureau (MCHB), awards
grants for the Tribal MIECHV Program.
The Tribal MIECHV grant awards
support 5-year cooperative agreements
to conduct community needs
assessments; plan for and implement
high-quality, culturally relevant,
evidence-based home visiting programs
in at-risk tribal communities; collect
and report on performance measures;
and participate in research and
evaluation activities to build the
knowledge base on home visiting among
Native populations.
Specifically, the MIECHV legislation
requires that State and Tribal MIECHV
grantees collect performance data to
measure improvements for eligible
families in six specified areas (referred
to as ‘‘benchmark areas’’) that
encompass the major goals of the
program. These include:
1. Improved maternal and newborn
health;
2. Prevention of child injuries, child
abuse, neglect, or maltreatment, and
reduction in emergency department
visits;
3. Improvement in school readiness
and achievement;
4. Reduction in crime or domestic
violence;
5. Improvement in family economic
self-sufficiency; and
6. Improvement in the coordination
and referrals for other community
resources and supports.
Tribal MIECHV grantees are required
to propose a plan for meeting the
benchmark requirements specified in
the legislation and must report on
improvement in constructs under each
benchmark area. Tribal Home Visiting
(HV) Form 2 will provide a template for
Tribal MIECHV grantees to report data
on their progress in improving
performance under the six benchmark
areas, as stipulated in the legislation.
ACF will continue to use Tribal HV
Form 2 to:
• Track and improve the quality of
benchmark measures data submitted by
the Tribal grantees;
• Improve program monitoring and
oversight;
• Improve rigorous data analyses that
help to assess the effectiveness of the
programs and enable ACF to better
monitor projects; and
• Ensure adequate and timely
reporting of program data to relevant
federal agencies and stakeholders
including Congress and members of the
public.
