Abstract: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeks approval for a three-year clearance to conduct tracking of children/families who participated in the Early Head Start Research and Evaluation Project (EHSREP). The purpose of tracking these participants is to maintain up-to-date contact information for the children/families in the event that ACF determines that a future follow-up to the EHSREP will take place.
