Title: Innovative Strategies for
Increasing Self-Sufficiency: Follow-Up
Data Collection.
OMB No.: 0970–0397.
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 career pathways
strategies to promote education,
employment, and self-sufficiency. The
major goals of the ISIS project include
increasing the empirical knowledge
about the effectiveness of a variety of
programs for low-income individuals
and families to achieve educational
credentials, attain employment and
advance to positions that enable selfsufficiency, as well as producing useful
findings for both policymakers and
program administrators.
This proposed information collection
activity focuses on collecting follow-up
data elements approximately fifteen
months after program enrollment.
Baseline data collection instruments
were previously approved under OMB
No. 0970–0397.
The purpose of this information
collection effort is to follow-up with
study participants, document the
experiences of program participants,
examine differences in service receipt
and educational experiences between
program and control group members,
describe the intervention as it was
implemented in each site and assess the
extent to which it was implemented as
intended, and assess the implications
for intervention scalability and
sustainability.
Specifically, this data will be
collected using the following
instruments: (a) A follow-up survey
which will be administered to all study
participants approximately 15 months
following enrollment in the study; (b) a
modification to the Baseline Information
Form requesting some basic information
about all of the study participant’s
children (if applicable); (c) interview
guides for the in-person visits to the
intervention sites to structure
discussions with program leadership/
managers, instructional staff, case
managers/advisors, partners and
employers; (d) a brief survey for
instructional staff; (e) a brief survey for
case managers/advisors; (f) a brief study
participant check-in call; and (g) indepth interviews with a sample of study
participants. Respondents: Individuals
enrolled in the ISIS demonstration
programs, control group members, ISIS
program/partner staff (including
program leadership, case managers and
instructional staff), and other local
informants.
