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.
