The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), requests approval of this overarching generic clearance to allow ACF to conduct a variety of formative data collections. ACF programs promote the economic and social well-being of families, children, individuals and communities. Many ACF program offices need to learn more about funded program services so that an understanding of program or grantee processes and potential for improvements can inform ACF decision-making and program support. Under this generic clearance, ACF would engage in a variety of formative data collections with respondents such as: current or prospective service providers, training or technical assistance (T/TA) providers, grantees, contractors, current and potential participants in ACF programs or similar comparison groups, experts in fields pertaining to ACF programs, key stakeholder groups involved in ACF projects and programs, individuals engaged in program re-design or demonstration development for evaluation, state or local government officials, or others involved in or prospectively involved in ACF programs. The goals of the generic information collections (GenICs) under this approval are to: obtain information about program and grantee processes or needs, and to inform the following example activities, among other activities: • Delivery of targeted assistance and workflows related to program implementation or the development or refinement of program and grantee processes, and the development and refinement of recordkeeping and communication systems. • Planning for provision of programmatic or evaluation-related training or technical assistance (T/TA). • Obtaining grantee or other stakeholder input on the development of program performance measures. • Use of rapid-cycle testing activities to strengthen programs in preparation for summative evaluation. • Development of learning agendas and research priorities. ACF envisions using a variety of techniques such as semi-structured discussions, focus groups, surveys, templates, open-ended requests, and telephone or in-person interviews, in order to reach these goals.
