Mathematica Policy Research® is seeking studies for a comprehensive review of the evidence base for home visiting programs. The review is being conducted for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) by Mathematica (and subcontractor Dr. Brenda Jones Harden) and will be used to help inform the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program, which emphasizes and supports successful implementation of high-quality home visiting programs that have demonstrated evidence of effectiveness.

The purpose of this new call for studies is to continue and update the existing evidence review, conducted over the past two years. The results of the initial review, as well as detailed information about the review standards, are available on the HomVEE website (http://homvee.acf.hhs.gov/). The call for studies is also available on the website.

Submissions are due by January 6, 2012. If you have any questions about the call for studies, please contact HVEE@mathematica-mpr.com or (202) 250-3583.
