Fatherhood and Marriage Local Evaluation and Cross-Site Data Collection

This information collection request (ICR) is for renewal of clearance for OMB package # 0970-0460, which was originally approved in July 2015 to collect information for the Fatherhood and Marriage Local Evaluation (FaMLE) and Cross-Site Project. The FaMLE Cross-Site Project gathers information from the current round of healthy marriage (HM) and responsible fatherhood (RF) grantees. The HM and RF grants were awarded in fall 2015. ACF contracted with Mathematica Policy Research to conduct the FaMLE Cross-Site project, with the dual goals of supporting quality and consistent collection of performance measures data, and fostering strong local evaluations by the 2015 cohort of HMRF grantees. More specifically, Mathematica: (1) collects information on the design and implementation of grantees’ programs; and (2) has developed and maintains data collection tools that grantees use to collect information on program participation and participant outcomes for use in reporting performance and conducting evaluations. The project relies on two complementary, ongoing sources of data collection: (1) data collection by the contractor for cross-site analysis of program design and implementation, hereafter referred to as DCI (Data collected by the Contractor Itself); and (2) data collection by the grantees themselves for performance reporting and cross-site analysis, hereafter referred to as DCS (Data Collected for Cross-Site analyses). OMB renewal will allow these sources of data collection to continue for another three years.
