Title: Evaluation of Tribal Health
Profession Opportunity Grants
(HPOG)—One Year Extension of Data
Collection
OMB No.: 0970–0395
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is proposing to continue
information collection activities as part
of the Evaluation of the Tribal Health
Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG).
These information collection activities
were approved by OMB in October 2011
for a three-year period (OMB clearance
number 0970–0395). ACF is requesting
a one-year extension of these activities.
Through the extension of the
information collection, ACF seeks to
continue a comprehensive process and
outcome evaluation to provide
documentation and lessons learned
about diverse programmatic approaches
to health professions trainings for Tribal
populations.
The goals of the Tribal HPOG
evaluation are to: (1) Provide an indepth, systematic analysis of program
structure, implementation, and
outcomes of the sites served by the five
Tribal HPOG grantees funded in FY
2010, and (2) compare these data within
and across grantees to generate
hypotheses about the effectiveness of
different program approaches for Tribal
populations. These goals require
collecting information from Tribal
HPOG grantees and other program
stakeholders on an annual basis. The
information collection activities include
in-person and telephone interviews and
focus groups. A one-year extension of
these activities will allow the evaluation
to gather data from the grantees through
the end of their grant period. Program
operations data related to this effort will
continue to be collected through a webAnnual
