Building Usage, Improvement, and Learning with Data in Healthy Marriage and Responsible Fatherhood Programs (BUILD HMRF)

The purpose of the Building Usage, Improvement, and Learning with Data in HMRF programs (BUILD HMRF) project is to provide technical assistance to ACF’s fourth cohort (2020 — 2025) of Healthy Marriage and Responsible Fatherhood (HMRF) grantees through:  

• fostering high quality data collection;
• supporting continuous quality improvement efforts; and
• conducting cross-site performance measures analysis.

To accomplish this, OPRE is collaborating closely with the program office and funder, ACF’s Office of Family Assistance, and all HMRF grantees, to:

• implement, maintain, and enhance a data collection system (nFORM) with updated tools and processes;
• provide ongoing support to HMRF grantees and build capacity for performance monitoring and data-driven program improvement; and
• provide cross-grantee analyses to support ACF performance monitoring and reporting and advance understanding of HMRF programs, services, and outcomes.

This project is being conducted by Mathematica.
