HomVEE will pilot an application process in the coming months for model developers interested in having their model reviewed by HomVEE next year. This opportunity only applies to models that are not yet determined by HomVEE to be evidence based, known as “Track 1” models. For next year’s review, HomVEE will use the application process instead of the points-based model prioritization approach HomVEE typically uses to select Track 1 models for review.
HomVEE’s review of Track 1 models is designed to assess the evidence of effectiveness for models and identify models that meet HHS’s criteria for an evidence-based early childhood home visiting service delivery model. The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program’s authorizing statute requires that the majority of MIECHV grant funds are used for implementation of evidence-based home visiting models.
Check the “Announcements” section on our homepage in the coming months for opportunities to submit an expression of interest to be reviewed. Note that submitting an expression of interest does not guarantee that your model will be reviewed.
For models that are already determined by HomVEE to be evidence based, known as “Track 2” models, HomVEE will continue to update model reports on a schedule. No application is required for Track 2 models.
