The second substudy will reduce the minimum duration and intensity levels of programs that Pell grant recipients must participate in from 15 weeks with 600 minimum clock hours to 8 weeks with 150 minimum clock hours. Each substudy will operate through a set of PGE schools that provide education and training services that qualify as PGE programs. Participants in both substudies will be randomly assigned to either (1) a treatment group, which will have expanded access to Pell grants; or (2) a control group, which will not have access. Within both substudies, the treatment group will be very similar to the control at the time of random assignment except for access to Pell grants. Subsequent differences in the employment and earnings outcomes between treatment and control group members can then be attributed to Pell grant access. The first substudy will involve roughly 28 PGE schools with an average of 100 students participating per school. The second substudy will involve roughly 40 PGE schools with an average of 200 participating students per school. The expected sample of both substudies combined is approximately 10,800 students. Data for this evaluation will come from participants’ Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) applications, PGE school administrative records, Social Security Administration earnings statements, and a survey of study participants. The study participant enrollment period is expected to last from July 2012 to January 2014. Data extracts from FAFSA applications will occur between October and December during years 2012–2014. Administrative extracts from PGE schools will occur between January and March during years 2013–2015. A stratified survey of treatment and control group members with a targeted total sample size of 2,000 will be fielded between July 2014 and March 2015. Dated: April 26, 2012. Darrin A. King, Director, Information Collection Clearance Division, Privacy, Information and Records Management Services, Office of Management.
