In 2015, the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families
(ACF) awarded grants to 32 organizations to administer the second
generation of the Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG 2.0)
Program. ACF contracted with Abt Associates and partners to conduct
the HPOG 2.0 National and Tribal Evaluations. In August 2015, ACF
received approval to collect baseline data from HPOG 2.0 National
and Tribal Evaluation study participants under OMB #0970-0462.
Grantees began enrolling participants in 2016 and continued through
the end of the grant period in September 2021. Data collection in
support of the Tribal Evaluation is complete. Data collection in
support of the National Evaluation is ongoing, including
Participant Contact Update Forms for the in-progress COVID-19
Cohort Short-Term Follow-up Survey (COVID-STS) data collection and
the upcoming HPOG 2.0 Long-Term Survey (LTS), part of the Long-Term
Follow-Up Study. This is the fifth request for revisions to OMB
#0970-0462. ACF is now preparing to conduct the HPOG 2.0 Long-Term
Follow-Up Study, which will use the LTS and administrative data to
estimate longer-term program impacts. This revised request for
clearance seeks approval for the HPOG 2.0 LTS and supporting
materials.
This request for clearance
includes new surveys to continue the HPOG 2.0 National Evaluation.
As such, those new instruments (Instruments 21 and 21a) and the
associated burden have been added, as shown in Exhibit A-6. We also
plan to complete data collection with previously approved
instruments (Instruments 5b, 12a, and 12b). This request does not
include any changes to content of those instruments or to the
estimated time to complete. We have, however, updated the number of
respondents to reflect the current status of data collection.
Exhibit A-5 shows the remaining burden for the previously approved
information collections that are still active. Since the most
recent approval, the PAGES data collection has been completed, so
that has been removed from the burden section.
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.
