(OMB Control Number: 0970-0617 Expiration Date: 09/30/26)

TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (TMIECHV) Kickoff Meeting Registration

PURPOSE: The Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (TMIECHV) program provides grants to tribal organizations to develop, implement, and evaluate home visiting programs in American Indian and Alaska Native communities. ACF hosts in-person grantee kickoff meetings for new cohorts to enhance grantees' abilities to successfully meet grant program goals, objectives, and requirements outlined in the authorizing legislation. For new grantees, this is centered on them completing the Community Needs and Readiness Assessment. During meetings, grantees participate in Technical Assistance (TA), peer sharing, and capacity and skill-building opportunities. TMIECHV kickoff 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.

This information collection aims to collect registration information for the kickoff meeting for new grantees of the TMIECHV program. ACF uses a registration site to collect registration information such as names, email, affiliation, and a networking activity.

DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS: 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.
