Title of Collection: Study of Implementation and Outcomes in Upward Bound and other TRIO Programs. OMB Control Number: 1850—NEW. Type of Review: New information collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Not-forprofit institutions. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 274. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 183. Abstract: This Upward Bound (UB) study, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education, focuses on the implementation strategies of all regular UB projects. To do so, project directors will be asked to complete a 40 minute survey. This survey will serve two main purposes—to describe the services and strategies that Upward Bound grantees implement and to provide input into the decision-making process to identify a strategy to test as part of a random assignment demonstration. The grantee survey will be conducted with all 820 regular Upward Bound projects in the spring of 2013. Preliminary results from the survey, which will be shared internally within ED in late Spring 2013, will help inform the selection of a yet-to-be determined promising strategy or strategies for a possible experimental study that could be implemented in a set of UB grantees. ED will decide whether to exercise the PO 00000 Frm 00045 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 option for a study of promising strategies in Upward Bound by June 2013, based, in large part, on the findings from the survey of UB grantees.
