OPRE Evaluation - National and Tribal Evaluation of the 2nd Generation of the Health Profession Opportunity Grants [descriptive evaluation, impact evaluation, cost-benefit analysis study, pilot study]
No material or nonsubstantive change to a currently approved collection
Between August 2015 and July 2019, OMB has approved several information collection instruments, procedures and supporting materials in support HPOG 2.0. These include baseline data collection from HPOG 2.0 National and Tribal Evaluation study participants, data collection protocols and procedures for the HPOG 2.0 Tribal Evaluation, a Short-term Follow-up Survey as part of the National Evaluationâs impact study, and several instruments in support of the National Evaluation, including a phone-based skills assessment pilot instrument and an Intermediate Follow-up Survey to support the HPOG 2.0 National Evaluation impact study.
ACF requests approval of non-substantive changes to several of the previously approved information collections and supporting materials. These requested changes are based primarily on three events: (1) ACFâs decision to extend the HPOG Program grants by twelve months, ending in September 2021 instead of September 2020; (2) the National Evaluation teamâs experiences completing data collection for the Short-Term Follow-up Survey (Instrument 12) and the results of the Phone-based Skills Assessment Pilot (Instrument 19); and (3) the COVID-19 pandemic and associated travel restrictions.
This change request includes increasing the number of respondents to Instrument 1 PAGES Participant-Level Baseline Data Collection (for participants at non-tribal grantees). Additionally, we took the opportunity to update the information collections and remove ICs that are complete and no longer in use.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
