PARTNERSHIP FUND FOR PROGRAM
INTEGRITY INNOVATION TEMPLATE
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PILOT IDEA
SUMMARY
The first step in the Partnership Fund
pilot selection process is the submission
of a pilot idea summary. Pilot idea
summaries may be submitted by anyone
through the partner4solutions.gov Web
site, www.partner4solutions.gov, or the
partner4solutions@omb.eop.gov email
address. Pilot ideas may be sent to an
independent Collaborative Forum for
further development into more detailed
concept papers. OMB consults with the
Federal Steering Committee in selecting
pilot concepts and making funding
decisions.
Below are instructions for completing
a pilot idea summary. Completed pilot
idea summaries should not be more
than two pages in length.
PARTNERSHIP FUND FOR PROGRAM
INTEGRITY INNOVATION PILOT
IDEA: Name of Pilot Idea
1. Pilot Idea: Summarize the idea in
2–3 sentences.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:06 Jun 03, 2011
Jkt 223001
2. Programs Affected:
• Which programs are affected, either
directly or indirectly? Ideally, an idea
would address multiple programs and
bridge multiple programmatic silos.
• Are these federal, state, and/or
local programs? An ideal submission
would involved multiple states and/or
communities in the development or
eventual implementation of a pilot.
3. Measurable Impacts: How does the
pilot impact each of the four goals of the
Partnership Fund? A pilot should
address as many of these goals as
possible across multiple programs or
test a solution that could later be
applied to multiple programs.
a) Improving payment accuracy
b) Improving administrative
efficiency
c) Improving service delivery
d) Reducing access barriers for
eligible beneficiaries
4. Expected Outcomes and
Measurement Methodologies:
• What are the expectations and
measures of success in relation to the
four goals?
• What are the possible quantitative
and qualitative measures?
• Could these outcomes be
extrapolated to a larger environment?
5. Potential Partners or Sponsors:
• Which stakeholders and/or key
organizations are involved?
• Does the proposed pilot have
sufficient stakeholder buy-in?
Stakeholders could include federal,
state, and local governments, and nongovernmental organizations.
6. Estimated Operating Cost of Pilot:
• How much would the pilot cost to
implement?
• Are there resources of matching or
leveraged funds that could be used to
support this pilot?
• Is the Partnership Fund the most
appropriate funding source for the
pilot? All pilot ideas will be considered,
but the Partnership Fund is targeting
ideas that attempt to cut across multiple
programs with multiple objectives, but
have struggled to gain footing in existing
program silos.
7. Estimated Impact on Program
Costs:
• What are the anticipated costs and/
or savings for the various programs
involved in the pilot?
• If the pilot were to be scaled up,
what are the anticipated costs/savings?
Pilot ideas that increase program costs
will be considered, but the Partnership
Fund must comply with our statutory
requirement to maintain overall cost
neutrality.
8. Pilot Implementation Issues:
• Is this pilot idea ready for
immediate implementation, or does it
require further refinement?
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
32377
• What is the timeframe in which the
pilot would be conducted? The target
time period for conducting the first
round of pilots is 9–18 months.
• What are possible implementation
barriers (e.g., privacy issues)?
• Is this pilot scalable? Successful
ideas will demonstrate strong external
validity and scalability.
• Could this pilot be implemented
under existing legislative authorities or
mechanisms?
• Are any administrative waivers
required?

instrument and instructions from

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: National
Evaluation of the Alliances for Graduate
Education and the Professoriate,
program survey and interview and focus
group protocols.
OMB Approval Number: 3145–New.
Expiration Date of Approval: Not
applicable.
Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval to establish an information
collection for three years.
Proposed Project: The Division of
Human Resource Development of the
Education and Human Resources
Directorate (EHR/HRD) of the National
Science Foundation has requested
information on the Alliances for
Graduate Education and the
Professoriate (AGEP) Program. Funded
by NSF, the AGEP Program currently
funds 17 alliances of postsecondary
institutions to promote the participation
of underrepresented minority students
in PhD programs in the fields of science,
technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM). The ultimate goal
of the program is to increase the number
of underrepresented minorities in these
fields who enter the professoriate. NSF
seeks information from participants—
that is, staff, students and faculty—to
determine what influence the program
has had on minority graduate students’
decisions to enroll in and graduate from
STEM doctoral programs and enter the
professoriate. NSF proposes a
longitudinal approach to the evaluation
that includes analysis of extant data
sources (e.g., Survey of Earned
Doctorates), virtual site visits with
AGEP institutions, and a program
survey. The virtual site visits will
include up to 30 PhD granting
universities (up to 10 each year in 2011,
2012, and 2013). These site visits
include interviews with program staff
and focus groups with students and
faculty via videoconferencing or phone.
The program survey will be completed
once by each AGEP-funded institution.
Estimate of Burden for Virtual Site
Visits: The Foundation estimates that,
on average, 90 minutes will be required
to conduct each program staff interview
(2 per institution) and 60 minutes will
be required for each faculty or student
focus group (6 participants per group
per institution). The Foundation
estimates a total of up to 90 (1.5 hr × 2
× 30) hours to complete all program staff
interviews and up to 360 (1hr × 12 × 30)
hours to complete all faculty and
student focus groups bringing the total
burden hours to 450 for all respondents.
Visited institutions will be selected
