Summary
The Department of Health and Human Services is asking 12 PREIS grant recipients to use a new, easy-to-follow report template to share their program results. This helps make sure their final reports are clear and meet quality standards. Comments on this plan are open until January 20, 2026, and the goal is to support grantees without adding extra costs or delays.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Mandatory 40‑Hour Report Template
Twelve PREIS grant recipients must use a standardized final evaluation report template and each respondent is estimated to spend 40 hours completing it. The notice lists 12 respondents, one response each, for a total burden of 480 hours over the request period and an annual burden of 240 hours; the template is to be used until September 2026 (or until the end of the grant with a no‑cost extension).
Review & One‑on‑One Technical Assistance
The PREP Local Evaluation Support (LES) team will review completed reports for ACF's standards of rigor, develop recommendations for improvement, and provide technical assistance, primarily via one‑on‑one TA calls, to the 12 PREIS grant recipients while they prepare draft and final reports. This support is available up to the template use period ending September 2026 (or the end of the grant with a no‑cost extension).
