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.

to conduct an early childhood home visiting program. The legislation

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
