Abstract: The Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is proposing to collect data for a new round of the Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey (FACES). FACES 2014-2018 features a new "Core Plus" study design. Through this design, FACES Core studies will provide data on a set of key indicators more rapidly and with greater frequency than in past rounds of FACES, and will allow for studying more complex issues and topics in greater detail and with increased efficiency (Plus studies). The overall design of the FACES 2014-2018 Core and the procedures that are used to select and recruit the sample and conduct data collection are, for the most part, similar to those used in FACES 2009 (OMB number 0970-0151). ACF requests permission to contact 230 Head Start programs that will be selected to participate in FACES 2014-2018 for the purpose of gathering information that will be used (1) to develop a sampling frame of Head Start centers in each program, and (2) to facilitate the selection of the center and classroom samples and, for a subsample of programs, the selection of child samples. In this package, we present the sampling plans for all these levels and the procedures for recruiting programs and selecting centers in 2014 and contacting them again in 2016. A separate package will be submitted to request clearance for the FACES 2014-2018 data collection, including selecting classrooms and children for the study and gathering consent for children, data collection instruments and procedures, data analyses, and the reporting of study findings.
