Because this ICR is not going to assess ultimate outcomes of this program (e.g. the effects on the wider community/populations being served), this ICR is approved on the understanding that ACF will refer to the results of this survey as "outputs" rather than "outcomes" when reporting results to the public. ACF also agrees to take the "maturity" (grant cycle) of grantees into account when analyzing and reporting on findings and to assess non-response bias to the extent that administrative data on these organizations (e.g. funding priority area, age, type of organization, legal status, size, location) are available. Though approval is granted for 36 months, ACF will--per the PRA--submit ICR-revisions for all subsequent rounds of information collection that are substantively different (e.g. utilize different instruments or collect information from different respondents) from that which is granted approval in this ICR.
