 *Title:*
                     Cross-Site Evaluation of the Children's Bureau Grantee Cluster: Supporting Evidence-Based Home Visiting Programs to Prevent Child Maltreatment (EBHV). *OMB No.:*
                     New collection. *Description:*
                     The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is proposing this cross-site evaluation data collection activity to identify successful strategies for adopting, implementing, and sustaining high-quality home visitation programs to prevent child maltreatment. An evaluation study will address four domains: (1) Systems change to develop infrastructure, (2) fidelity to evidence-
                    ( print page 55052)
                    based models, (3) costs of home visiting programs, and (4) family and child outcomes (via a review of grantee analysis reports). A process study will focus on the broader grant initiative to understand how programs plan and develop the infrastructure needed to support home visitation services and how they ensure service quality. Information will be collected through biennial site visits, web-based data entry, a data quality progress table, a relationship questionnaire completed by participants and home visitors, and a grantee-partner network survey. In particular, site visits will include interviews with key grantee staff and stakeholders involved in the execution of the grant and in the efforts to make system changes. Grantees will complete systems web-based data entry on goals and operations every six months while agencies implementing home visiting programs associated with the grantee will utilize the fidelity/cost web-based data entry to provide EBHV program, provider, and participant characteristics along with yearly data on costs of home visiting programs. *Respondents:*
