On
October 1, 2014, the Small Business
Administration (SBA)’s Office of
Entrepreneurial Development (OED)
began the ScaleUp America initiative to
expand the delivery of proven best
practices in entrepreneurship education
to reach more growth-oriented small
business owners. Through this
initiative, organizations in eight
communities across the U.S. have been
selected to deliver targeted and
intensive assistance to established,
growth-oriented small businesses and
entrepreneurs. ScaleUp program goals
include the growth of participating
businesses, the strengthening of local
entrepreneurial ecosystems (e.g. the
network of supportive resources
available to the entrepreneur), and the
creation of jobs and economic growth in
targeted communities.
SBA is conducting an evaluation of
the ScaleUp America initiative to assess
the education services provided to the
participants, the effect of the assistance
on achieving the business goals of the
participants, participant satisfaction
with the assistance, and lessons learned
and recommendations provided by the
participants. Through the quarterly and
annual reports provided by ScaleUp
administrators, SBA has the ability to
collect some data on the participants
and program activities. However, in
order to develop a more systematic
analysis on the full range of topics
mentioned above, including the
participants’ feedback, SBA needs to
collect survey and interview data from
participants who attended the program,
as well as from individual entrepreneurs
who are recruited as members of a
community-specific comparison group.
Specifically, SBA proposes the use of
four instruments for data collection and
analysis. These instruments are: (1)
Participant Intake Survey, (2)
Comparison Group Member Intake
Survey and (3) Participant Follow-up
Survey. SBA plans to administer each of
these survey instruments to more than
nine individuals. In addition, SBA plans
to interview two participants or
community members in each of the
eight ScaleUp communities regarding
program impact and successes or
challenges.
Each of the proposed surveys will be
administered electronically and will
contain both open- and close-ended
questions. The types of information that
will be collected in the instruments can
be found in the ‘‘Summary of
Information Collection’’ section below.
Quantitative analysis (the primary
method of data analysis for the survey
data) and qualitative analysis (the

interview data) will be used on the data
collected. Quantitative analysis will
consist of univariate and multivariate
statistical analyses, while qualitative
analysis will consist of establishing
clear rules for interpretation and finding
themes in the qualitative data. The
information collected and analyzed
from these instruments will contribute
to performance metrics and program
goals, as well as recommendations on
improving program practices.
Solicitation of Public Comments:
Comments may be submitted on (a)
whether the collection of information is
necessary for the agency to properly
perform its functions; (b) whether the
burden estimates are accurate; (c)
whether there are ways to minimize the
burden, including through the use of
automated techniques or other forms of
information technology; and (d) whether
there are ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information.
