Grantee-Led Evaluations in the Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program:

In 2018, TEI created the first compilation of evaluation plan profiles that introduced and described the evaluation studies of grantees funded from 2010 to 2016 in the first three cohorts of the Tribal Home Visiting Program. In 2022, the 2nd edition of the compilation was published to feature six additional grantees funded from 2016 to 2023 in the Development and Implementation Grantee cohort (DIG) and the Implementation and Expansion Grantee cohort 2 (IEG2). The profiles are designed for evaluators, program implementers, and federal staff as resources for the development and implementation of evaluations in tribal communities, as well as to inform evaluation-related policies and grant requirements for tribal funding recipients. They may be most useful for individuals thinking about evaluating tribal home visiting and/or early education initiatives. Each profile presents a description of the program, a summary of their evaluation plan, and information about their evaluation team. Grantees reviewed, provided feedback, and approved their Evaluation Plan Profiles. Grantees also received local approval for the dissemination of these profiles, as desired by their community.
