OMB 0970-0527

The Children’s Bureau (CB), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Administration for Children, Youth and Families (ACYF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is requesting revisions to the approved information collection: Regional Partnership Grants (RPG) National Cross-Site Evaluation and Evaluation Technical Assistance (OMB #0970-0527). The proposed information collection will be used in a national cross-site evaluation of the seventh cohort of Children’s Bureau’s Regional Partnership Grants (RPG7). Specifically, this request is to extend approval of the majority of the currently approved instruments, remove two information collections, and add two information collections. This will allow CB to continue to conduct site visits, administer a web-based sustainability survey, and collect data on participants’ enrollment, service use, and outcomes. The addition of individual interviews and focus groups with adult participants enrolled in RPG services will allow for the first time the cross-site evaluation to include participants’ own voices to describe their experiences receiving RPG services. CB is removing the partnership survey, which will no longer be administered to grantees and the semiannual progress reports (SAPRs) which are now approved under a separate OMB number (0970-0490).

The latest form for Regional Partnership Grants (RPG) National Cross-Site Evaluation and Evaluation Technical Assistance expires 2028-07-31 and is listed under ICR 202506-0970-007.
