Abstract: ACYF, in partnership with the Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE), recently funded 21 Early Head Start grantees to develop and implement creative practices to increase the involvement of fathers in their Early Head Start program and in the lives of their children. This submission requests approval to conduct the survey of demonstration staff and to collect father participation data froom the demonstration programs. To reduce the burden of demonstration staff, the survey is configured in four versions: Director, Father Coordinator, Family Specialist, and Teacher.
