Title: Building Strong Families (BSF) 

Demonstration and Evaluation Impact 

Study Second Follow-up. 

OMB No.: 0970–0304. 

Description: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF), U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS), anticipates continuing 

data collection for the 15-month followup surveys of the Building Strong 

Families (BSF) Demonstration and 

Evaluation. Data collection will 

continue for an additional 6 months 

beyond the current date of expiration 

(July 31, 2009). 

This data collection is a part of the 

BSF evaluation, which is an important 

opportunity to learn if well-designed 

interventions can help low-income 

couples develop the knowledge and 

relationship skills that research has 

shown are associated with healthy 

marriages. The BSF evaluation uses an 

experimental design that randomly 

assigns couples who volunteer to 

participate in BSF programs to a 

program or control group. 

Materials for the original 15-month 

data collection effort, previously 

submitted to OMB, covered impact and 

implementation data collections. Data 

collection for the impact study is 

complete. ACF anticipates collecting 

data for an additional 6 months in order 

to complete data collection for the entire 

sample of participants. 

Respondents: Couples enrolled in the 

BSF evaluation, including program and 

control groups.

Title: Head Start Grant Application 

and Budget Instruments. 

OMB No.: 0970–0207. 

Description: The Office of Head Start 

is proposing to renew, without changes, 

the Head Start Grant Application and 

Budget Instrument, which standardizes 

the grant application information that is 

requested from all Head Start and Early 

Head Start grantees applying for 

continuation grants. The application 

and budget forms are available in a 

password-protected, Web-based system. 

Completed applications can be 

transmitted electronically to Regional 

and Central Offices. The Administration 

for Children and Families believes that 

this application form makes the process 

of applying for Head Start program 

grants more efficient for applicants. 

Respondents: Head Start and Early 

Head Start grantees.
