Abstract: The Evaluation and System Design for Career Pathways Programs: 2nd Generation of Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG Next Gen Design) is funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF). The ACF Office of Family Assistance (OFA) has announced plans to award a second round of HPOG grants by September 2015. One of the key objectives of HPOG Next Gen Design is to establish a new data system to support program management and evaluation of the new HPOG grantees. The data system will meet the performance data needs of the HPOG Next Gen grantees and of OFA to monitor the performance of the grants and prepare the report to Congress on the grants, as well as support an impact study, a separate but coordinated Tribal evaluation, and other future research and evaluation efforts sponsored by ACF. ACF is seeking clearance from OMB for the data collection via the new data system, called the HPOG Next Gen Participant Accomplishment and Grant Evaluation System (PAGES). The information collection proposed is internet-based and includes gathering data from the HPOG Next Gen grantees on: (1) grantee program designs and offerings; (2) intake information on eligible applicants (both treatment and control) through baseline data collection; and (3) individual enrolled program participants' activities and outcomes.
