The ACF Office of Planning, Research
and Evaluation (OPRE) has developed a multi-pronged research and
evaluation portfolio for the HPOG 2.0 Program to better understand
and assess the activities conducted and their results. This
submission is in support of two components of the evaluation
portfolio, the HPOG 2.0 National Evaluation and HPOG 2.0 Tribal
Evaluation. OMB has previously approved several information
collection requests under OMB Control Number 0970-0462 in support
of both the National and Tribal evaluations. Under this information
collect request, ACF seeks approval for the National Evaluation
impact study’s Short-Term Follow-up Survey, to be conducted 15
months after randomization.
This is an additional
information collection request under OMB #0970-0462. The burden
estimates include estimates for the new HPOG 2.0 National
Evaluation Short –Term Follow-up Survey, the subject of this
information collection request. It also includes changes to the
previously approved burden estimates. The previous burden estimates
were approved and covered the first three years of study enrollment
under the HPOG 2.0 grants. The tribal and non-tribal grantees will
enroll participants over a four and a half year period. The
previously approved burden estimates covered the first three years
of the study; this revised burden estimate covers the next three
years—incorporating the last year and a half of enrollment. As a
result, there are higher enrollment projections over the next three
years and, by extension, the number of participants expected to
enroll in HPOG 2.0 and complete the baseline intake form
(Instrument 1) is higher for both the tribal and non-tribal
grantees.
