Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request
Title: The Evaluation and System
Design for the Next Generation of HPOG
Career Pathways Programs (HPOG Next
Gen).
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is proposing information
collection activities as part of the
Evaluation and System Design for the
Next Generation of Health Profession
Opportunity Grants (HPOG) Career
Pathways Programs (HPOG Next Gen).
The goals of the HPOG Next Gen
evaluation are to establish a data system
for program management and evaluation
and to design a study to assess the
effectiveness of the new HPOG
programs. The study also is intended to
evaluate variation in participant impact
that may be attributable to different
HPOG program components. The impact
study design will include a classic
experiment in which eligible applicants
for the non-Tribal HPOG program
services will be randomly assigned to a
treatment group offered participation in
HPOG and a control group not offered
the opportunity to enroll in 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) Baseline characteristics of both
treatment group and control group
sample members; (2) treatment group
members’ program participation and
patterns, and participant outputs and
outcomes; and (3) program designs and
operating characteristics.
The universe of information
collection proposed for HPOG Next Gen
includes:
1. A performance management system
will collect information from all
grantees on their programs and
participants on a semi-annual basis over
the grant period of performance.
2. A brief baseline survey of eligible
applicants to non-Tribal HPOG
programs.
Respondents: Participant level data to
be collected by program staff in the
approximately 40 grantee organizations
(higher education institutions,
workforce investment boards, private
training institutions, nonprofit
organizations, and tribal entities);
individuals enrolled in HPOG
interventions; and control group
members.
