The Evaluation and System Design for
Career Pathways Programs: 2nd Generation of Health Profession
Opportunity Grants (HPOG Next Gen Design) is funded by the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for
Children and Families (ACF). The ACF Office of Family Assistance
(OFA) has announced plans to award a second round of HPOG grants by
September 2015. One of the key objectives of HPOG Next Gen Design
is to establish a new data system to support program management and
evaluation of the new HPOG grantees. The data system will meet the
performance data needs of the HPOG Next Gen grantees and of OFA to
monitor the performance of the grants and prepare the report to
Congress on the grants, as well as support an impact study, a
separate but coordinated Tribal evaluation, and other future
research and evaluation efforts sponsored by ACF. ACF is seeking
clearance from OMB for the data collection via the new data system,
called the HPOG Next Gen Participant Accomplishment and Grant
Evaluation System (PAGES). The information collection proposed is
internet-based and includes gathering data from the HPOG Next Gen
grantees on: (1) grantee program designs and offerings; (2) intake
information on eligible applicants (both treatment and control)
through baseline data collection; and (3) individual enrolled
program participants' activities and outcomes.
Burden estimates updated based
on actual number of grants.
