 Proposed Project *Title:*
                     Project LAUNCH Cross-Site Evaluation. *OMB Number:*
                     New Collection. *Description:*
                     The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is planning to collect data as part of a cross-site evaluation of a new initiative called Project LAUNCH (Linking Actions for Unmet Needs in Children's Health). Project LAUNCH is intended to promote the healthy development and wellness of children ages birth to eight years. A total of six Project LAUNCH grantees are funded to improve coordination among child-serving systems, build infrastructure, and improve methods for providing services. Grantees will also implement a range of public health strategies to support young child wellness in a designated locality. Data for the cross-site evaluation of Project LAUNCH will be collected through: (1) Interviews conducted during annual site-visits to Project LAUNCH grantees, and (2) semi-annual reports that will be submitted electronically on a web-based data-entry system. Information will be collected from all six Project LAUNCH grantees. During annual site visits, researchers will conduct interviews with Project LAUNCH service providers and collaborators in States/tribes and local communities of focus. Site visitors will ask program administrators questions about all Project LAUNCH activities, including: infrastructure development; collaboration and coordination among partner agencies, organizations, and service providers; and development, implementation, and refinement of service strategies. As part of the proposed data collection, Project LAUNCH staff will be asked to submit semi-annual electronic reports about the systems development, services that children and families receive, and provider, child and family outcomes. The electronic data report also will collect data about other Project LAUNCH-funded service enhancements, such as trainings, Project LAUNCH systems change activities, and project costs. Information provided in these reports will be tracked on a monthly basis. *Respondents:*
                     State/ tribal Child Wellness Coordinator, State/ tribal Wellness Council Members, State ECCS Project Director, Local Child Wellness Coordinator, Local Wellness Council Members, Local Evaluator, and Local Service Providers. Annual Burden Estimates
