Title: Innovative Strategies for
Increasing Self-Sufficiency: Baseline
Data Collection.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is proposing a data
collection activity as part of the
Innovative Strategies for Increasing SelfSufficiency (ISIS) demonstration and

evaluation. The ISIS project will test a
range of promising strategies to promote
employment, self-sufficiency, and
reduce dependence on cash welfare.
The ISIS project will evaluate multiple
employment-focused strategies that
build on previous approaches and are
adapted to the current Federal, State,
and local policy environment. The
major goals of the project include
increasing the empirical knowledge
about the effectiveness of a variety of
programs for low-income families to
sustain employment and advance to
positions that enable self-sufficiency, as
well as producing useful findings for
both policymakers and program
administrators.
This proposed information collection
activity focuses on collecting baseline
data elements. Two data collection
instruments will be completed by all
participants prior to random
assignment, and a third mill be an
interview guide to collect information
from program staff. The first is a short
baseline information form (BIF) that will
collect basic identification,
demographic, and contact information.
The form will include relatively
standard items from prior evaluations
and national surveys. The second
instrument will be a self-administered
questionnaire (SAQ), covering
information related to the project goals.
The third instrument, baseline
implementation data collection
interviews, will be used to collect
information from knowledgeable
informants about the service context for
each evaluation site using a baseline
implementation guide. The purpose of
such interviews is to document and
assess the service environment in which
the evaluation is implemented and the
opportunities for control group
members to access the same or similar
services as the treatment group
members.
Respondents: Individuals enrolled in
ISIS demonstration interventions,
control group members, ISIS program
operators (BIF and SAQ) and State and
local informants (interviews).

Description: The Administration for

Health Profession Opportunity Grants
(HPOG). Through this information

initiative and design a feasible and
reliable evaluation design to produce
accurate evidence of the effect of HPOG
on individuals and health job training
programs systems.
The goals of the HPOG evaluation are
to establish a performance management
reporting process for HPOG, and design
an evaluation of HPOG. Both goals
require collecting information from
HPOG grantees on a regular basis. The
information collection proposed is an
Internet-based collection of information
from HPOG grantees on (1) program
participants: Baseline characteristics,
program participation and patterns, and
participant outputs and outcomes; and
(2) program designs and operating
characteristics. The performance
management system would collect
information from grantees on their
programs and participants on a biannual basis.
Respondents: Participant data to be
collected by program staff in the 32
grantee organizations (higher education
institutions, workforce investment
boards, private training institutions, and
tribal entities).
