Preparedness and Emergency
Operations (OPEO), Division of
Preparedness Planning (DPP), in
conjunction with the Hospital
Preparedness Program (HPP) in the
Division of National Healthcare
Preparedness Programs, is seeking
clearance by the Office of Management
of Budget (OMB) for a Generic Data
Collection Form to serve as the
cornerstone of its effort to assess
awardee performance under the HPP
Cooperative Agreement (CA) Program.
Performance data are gathered from
awardees as part of their Mid-Year and
End-of-Year Progress Reports and other
similar information collections (ICs)
which have the same general purpose
(Healthcare Coalitions, Capabilities and
Budget Information), account for
awardee spending and performance on
all activities conducted in pursuit of
achieving the HPP Grant goals.
Additionally, to reduce administrative
burden on awardees, there is a need to
develop reporting forms and templates
that allow awardees and ASPR to more
easily capture the data and other
information already provided in the
grant application at other times during
the yearly grant cycle, and onsite visits
by project and field officers (e.g. prepopulating some elements of the midyear and end- of-year reporting). Such
reporting will systematically capture
relevant information in a format that
allows for easy access and use within a
number of related grant business
processes, including Grants
management, Program and project
management, and performance metrics
and evaluation. A standardized
program-specific application addendum
will facilitate such data retrieval and
decrease overall government
administration costs.
This data collection effort is crucial to
HPP’s decision-making process
regarding the continued existence,
design and funding levels of this
program. Results from these data
analyses enable HPP to monitor
healthcare emergency preparedness and
progress towards national preparedness
goals.

Proposed Project: Evaluation of the
Marriage and Family Strengthening
Grants for Incarcerated and Reentering
Fathers and their Partners—OMB No.
0990–0331 Revision— Assistant
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation
(ASPE).
Abstract: The Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation
(ASPE) is conducting an evaluation of a
demonstration program called Marriage
and Family Strengthening Grants for
Incarcerated and Re-entering Fathers
and their Partners (MFS–IP). This
demonstration program, funded in 2006
by the Office of Family Assistance
within the Administration for Children
and Families (ACF), supports marriage

strengthening and responsible
fatherhood activities among
incarcerated and recently released
fathers, their partners, and children. The
MFS–IP evaluation will assess the
effects of these activities by comparing
relationship quality and stability,
positive family interactions, family
financial well-being, recidivism, and
community connectedness between
intervention and control groups.
Information from the evaluation will
assist federal, state, and community
policymakers and patrons in deciding
whether to replicate or redesign
identified marriage and family
strengthening program models.
Primary data for the evaluation will
come from three waves of in-person data
collection collected from incarcerated
and released fathers and their partners.
Data will be collected through a baseline
survey and follow-up surveys at
approximately 9 and 18 months postbaseline in five sites. A fourth wave of
data collection at approximately 34
months, will be collected in two of the
five sites. Data collection for the entire
evaluation is expected to last 6 years,
from the time the first participant is
enrolled until the last 34-month followup survey is administered. This three
year renewal request covers data
collection to complete the 9 month and
18 month follow-up surveys and for all
of the 34 month follow-up surveys.
