Abstract: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is requesting a one year extension from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to continue to collect qualitative data as part of the evaluation of the Tribal Health Professions Opportunity Grants (HPOG) to develop an understanding of the program's effectiveness in meeting the tribal health workforce needs. This extension will allow ACF to collect data on grantees through the completion of their grant period. Since initial approval of this information collection, no changes have been made to the instruments (interview and focus group protocols) or the time per response.
