Abstract:
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the Healthy Marriage and Responsible Fatherhood (HMRF) Performance Measures and Additional Data Collection in July 2026. This information collection package supports the collection and reporting of performance measures by the 2025 cohort of Administration for Children and Families (ACF)-funded HMRF grant recipients. Grant recipients can complete data entry via the Information, Family Outcomes, Reporting, and Management (nFORM) system. Grant recipients began data collection on July 13, 2026, and initial performance progress reports are due in October 2026. Through additional review, we have identified minor changes to better align the instruments with ACF’s notices of funding opportunities for HMRF grants and to clarify instructions for respondents. The proposed changes do not affect respondent burden, and the purpose and use of the information collection remains the same. Details about the changes are provided in the nonsubstantive change memo.
