SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description:
Section 511(e)(8)(A) of Title V of the Social Security Act requires that grantees under the Tribal MIECHV program, in the first year of their grants, submit an implementation plan on how they will meet the requirements of the program. Section 511(h)(2)(A) further states that the requirements for the MIECHV grants to tribes, tribal organizations, and urban Indian organizations are to be consistent, to the greatest extent practicable, with the requirements for grantees under the MIECHV program for states and jurisdictions.
The ACF Office of Early Childhood Development, in collaboration with the Health Resources and Services Administration, Maternal and Child Health Bureau awarded grants for the Tribal MIECHV Program to support 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; establish, measure, and report on progress toward meeting performance measures in six legislatively mandated benchmark areas; and conduct rigorous evaluation activities to build the knowledge base on home visiting among Native populations.
During the first grant year, Tribal Home Visiting DIG and IEG grantees must comply with the requirement to submit an implementation plan that should feature planned activities to be carried out under the program in years 2-5 of their cooperative agreements. To assist grantees with meeting these requirements, ACF created guidance for grantees to use when writing their plans. The DIG and IEG guidance specify that grantees must provide a plan to address the following areas:
Community Needs and Readiness Assessment
Program Design
Program Blueprint
Plan for Data Collection, Management and Performance Measurement
Fidelity Monitoring and Quality Assurance
Respondents:
