Center to Support Research and Evaluation Capacity of CCDF Lead Agencies (CSRE): Feedback from Grant Participants
The purpose of this voluntary information collection is to solicit feedback from participants of Community of Practice (CoP) meetings run by the Center to Support Research and Evaluation Capacity of CCDF Lead Agencies (CSRE). The participants are ACF grant team members participating in the Community of Practice (CoP) which aims to support cross-project collaborations and advance research evidence. Participant feedback will be collected during or after a CoP meeting with a link to an online survey. This feedback will help the CSRE understand the grant recipients’ experiences and preferences and will be used to improve future meetings and other supports for these grant recipients.
NOTE: This document includes a universe or bank of sample questions. We plan to ask for 5 minutes of burden each time feedback is requested. ACF will administer the poll up to 2 times over the next 6 months.
Many questions have brackets with information that will be identified based on Community of Practice discussions, planning needs, and feedback. A question may be asked more than once, using alternate versions of the information in brackets. We also may make additional small tweaks in wording to fit the circumstances. Many of the questions are drawn from previously OMB-approved polls for the individual Communities of Practice over the past 3-4 years (i.e., the CCDBG, CCPRP-2019, PROSPR, or CCPRP-2022 Community of Practice) but approval to use them has lapsed or they are only allowed to be used for one Community of Practice.
