FastTrack GenIC - TMIECHV Regional Meetings Feedback Forms

Request for Approval under the “Generic Clearance for the Collection of Routine Customer Feedback” (OMB Control Number: 0970-0401)

TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (TMIECHV) Regional Meetings Feedback Forms

PURPOSE: The Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (TMIECHV) program hosts in-person and virtual regional meetings with the aim to enhance grantees' abilities to successfully meet grant program goals, objectives, and requirements outlined in the authorizing legislation. During meetings, grantees participate in Technical Assistance (TA), peer sharing, and capacity and skill-building opportunities. TMIECHV regional meetings are a requirement of the grant award (cooperative agreement) and provide an opportunity for grantees to receive TA on the program requirements of their grants through skill and capacity building from Federal staff, TA providers, and other appointed experts.

ACF collects feedback from grant recipients about their satisfaction to inform the planning for training and Technical Assistance (TA) delivered through TMIECHV regional meetings, as approved under this generic, through the following surveys:

• Appendix A: Tribal Regional Overall Meeting Feedback Form

• Appendix B: Tribal Regional Individual Session Feedback Form

• Appendix C: Virtual Tribal Regional Overall Meeting Feedback Form

• Appendix D: Virtual Tribal Regional Individual Session Feedback Form

This request updates the surveys and requests approval to continue use at upcoming TMIECHV regional meetings. The surveys provide ACF with valuable feedback about the quality of TA administered at these meetings. Feedback informs planning and improvements for future meetings. The information is intended for internal use and planning to help ensure that ACF provides TMIECHV grant recipients with effective and efficient support.

DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS: The TMIECHV program provides grants to tribal organizations to develop, implement, and evaluate home visiting programs in American Indian and Alaska Native communities. The program is funded by a six percent set aside from the larger MIECHV program. TMIECHV grants are awarded to Indian tribes, consortia of tribes, tribal organizations, and urban Indian organizations. Grantee team members such as directors, supervisors, data collection personnel, evaluators, collaborating partners, and home visitors attend regional meetings.
