The National and Tribal Evaluations of
the Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG) program, known as
the HPOG 2.0 Evaluation is funded by the Office of Planning,
Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) within the Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS). The HPOG 2.0 Evaluation includes evaluations
of tribal grantees (Tribal Evaluation) and non-tribal grantees
(National Evaluation).This statement supports the request for a
third revision to the data collection plans for the HPOG 2.0
Evaluation, previously approved under OMB Clearance No. 0970-0462.
For the National Evaluation, this information collection request
covers instruments for the descriptive evaluation, the impact
evaluation, and the cost-benefit analysis study. The eight
instruments included in this request are: Five instruments for the
descriptive evaluation (Instruments 13-17): - Screening Interview
Guide, Second-round Interviews, - Second-round Telephone Interview
Guide, - Program Operator Interview Guide for systems study, -
Partner Interview Guide for systems study, and - Participant
In-depth Interview Guide. Two instruments for the impact evaluation
(Instruments 18 and 19): - Intermediate Follow-up Survey, -
Phone-based Skills Assessment Pilot One instrument for the
cost-benefit analysis study (Instrument 20): - Program cost
survey
This is an additional
information collection request under OMB #0970-0462. The burden
estimates include estimates for the eight new data collection tools
that are the subject of this information collection request. This
request also includes an additional 94 burden hours associated with
the previously approved Short-term Follow-up Survey. The increase
is due to the fact that the final enrollment targets were still
estimates at the time that the package for approval of the
Short-term Follow-up Survey (Instrument #12) was submitted for
review. The total enrollment for the cohorts included in that
sample was slightly higher than 13,000 estimated, thus there will
be slightly more completed interviews. Under the first round HPOG
1.0 impact study ACF added a long-term follow-up study to measure
impacts six years after random assignment (approved under OMB
Control # 0970-0394). ACF may opt to do the same for the second
round of HPOG grants as part of the HPOG 2.0 National Evaluation
impact study. In order to ensure that the interviewers can reach
the study participants for any subsequent information collection
efforts, it is important to maintain updated contact information
once the initial 36-month follow-up period ends. Therefore, ACF
seeks approval increase the burden for the previously approved
contact update form (Instrument 5b).
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.
