Abstract: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeks approval for a new round of the Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey (FACES). Beginning in 2019, two parallel studies will commence. Each study will provide data on a set of key indicators for Head Start programs. FACES 2019 focuses on Head Start Regions I through X (which are geographically based); AI/AN (American Indian and Alaska Native) FACES 2019 focuses on Region XI (which funds Head Start programs that serve federally recognized American Indian and Alaska Native tribes ). As with FACES 2014-2018, FACES 2019 features a ‘‘Core Plus’’ study design: Core studies will capture key indicators; potential Plus studies afford the flexibility to address new policy and programmatic issues. In this package, we present the sampling plans for all the information collection activities necessary to recruit Head Start programs and centers into FACES 2019 and AI/AN FACES 2019. The sample design and recruitment strategy for Regions I through X will differ slightly from those of Region XI. ACF proposes to contact up to 230 Head Start programs in Regions I through X and up to 30 Head Start programs in Region XI to participate in FACES 2019 or AI/AN FACES 2019, respectively. This information collection request (ICR) relates to the gathering of information that we will use to develop a sampling frame of Head Start centers in each program. We will submit a separate ICR for the FACES and AI/AN FACES 2019 data collections, including selecting classrooms and children for the study and gathering consent for children, data collection instruments and procedures, data analyses, and reporting study findings.
