Proposed Collection: Evaluation of the
Science Education Partnership Award
(SEPA) Program, 0925–NEW, the Office
of Science Education/SEPA, within the
Office of the Research Infrastructure
Programs (ORIP), an office of the
Division of Program Coordination,
Planning, and Strategic Initiatives
(DPCPSI), within the Office of the
Director (OD) at the National Institutes
of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information
Collection: The Science Education
Partnership Award Program is a
program in the Office of the Research
Infrastructure Programs within the
Office of Research Infrastructure
Program of the Division of Program
Coordination, Planning, and Strategic
Initiatives. The program provides 5-year
grants for PK–12 educational projects,
science centers, and museum exhibits to
increase students’ interest in pursuing
science-related careers, deliver topical
and interactive information about NIHfunded medical research, and cultivate
an understanding about healthy living
habits among the general public. SEPA
is undertaking an evaluation to examine
the extent to which SEPA grants
awarded from 2004 through 2014 have
met goals related to project structure,
partnership formation, and evaluation
quality. The evaluation will utilize
archival grant project data (e.g., SEPA
solicitations, project proposals, annual
and final reports, and summative
evaluations). The evaluation will also
collect new data to (1) determine the
extent to which the SEPA portfolio is
aligned with the program’s overall goals;
(2) assess how the SEPA Program has
contributed to the creation and/or
enrichment of beneficial productive
partnerships; and (3) determine the
extent to which the SEPA Program is
generating a rigorous evidence-based
system that provides high-quality
evaluations to inform the knowledge
base. The goal of this process evaluation
is to provide SEPA, program staff, the
NIH, and other interested stakeholders
with information about how the
program is operating, the extent to
which projects address the program’s
multiple goals, and the extent to which
project-level evaluations are informing
and enhancing the quality of work in
the field.
OMB approval is requested for one
year. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
523.

Proposed Project: Now Is the Time
(NITT)—Healthy Transitions (HT)
Evaluation—New
SAMHSA is conducting a national
evaluation of the Now is the Time
(NITT) initiative, which includes
separate programs—NITT Project
AWARE (Advancing Wellness and
Resilience in Education)—State
Educational Agency (SEA), Healthy
Transitions (HT), and two Minority
Fellowship Programs (Youth and
Addiction Counselors). These programs
are united by their focus on capacity
building, system change, and workforce
development.
NITT–HT, which is the focus of this
data collection, represents a response to
the fourth component of President
Obama’s NITT Initiative: Increasing
access to mental health services. The
purpose of the NITT–HT program is to
improve access to treatment and support
services for youth/young adults 16–25
years that either have, or are at risk of
developing a mental illness or substance
use disorder, and are at high risk of
suicide. NITT–HT grants were made to
17 state or local jurisdictions, each of
which include 2–3 learning laboratories
(n = 43), which are the local
communities of practice responsible for
implementing the NITT–HT approach.
The NITT–HT program aims to increase
awareness about early signs and
symptoms of mental health conditions
in the community; identify action
strategies to use when a mental health

concern is detected; provide training to
provider and community groups to
improve services and supports for
youth/young adults; enhance peer and
family supports; and develop effective
services and interventions for youth and
young adults with a serious mental
health condition and their families. The
NITT–HT evaluation is designed to
understand whether and how NITT–HT
grantees reach these program goals by
examining system- and grantee-level
processes and system- and client-level
outcomes. Data collection efforts that
will support the evaluation are
described below.
The Community Support for
Transition Inventory (CSTI) will assess
systems change for communities
implementing comprehensive,
community-based approaches to
improve outcomes for emerging adults
with serious mental health conditions.
The CSTI is organized around seven
themes: Community partnership,
collaborative action, transition planning
quality assurance and support,
workforce, fiscal policies and
sustainability, access to needed support
and services, and accountability. The
CSTI is a web-based survey to be
completed by 1,075 community leaders
(15–25 community leaders per 43
learning laboratories) once during Year
2 and once during Year 4 of the grant
period. Community leaders include
members of the local advisory or
steering committee, staff of the NITT–
HT program, staff of agencies providing
portions of the services, and young
adult and family members’ advocates.
The State Support for Transition
Inventory (SSTI) will assess state
