Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection:
New collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection:
Survey of VAWA-funded Discretionary
Grantees about Program Evaluation
Practices and Results.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the
collection: 1122–NEW. Sponsoring
agency: U.S. Department of Justice,
Office on Violence Against Women,
which has supplied grant funds to the
Violence Against Women Act Measuring
Effectiveness Initiative (VAWA MEI) for
Ongoing Training and Technical
Assistance to Support Grantee Reporting
for a project of which the proposed
survey is one component.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: 3,500 staff of federal
discretionary grant-funded entities.
Established in 1995, OVW
administers financial and technical
assistance to communities across the
country that are developing programs,
policies, and practices that combat
domestic/dating violence, sexual
assault, and stalking. OVW administers
both formula-based and discretionary
(i.e., competitively awarded) grant
programs, established under the
Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)
and subsequent legislation. Recipients
of OVW funds work through a
coordinated community response to
support victims and hold perpetrators
accountable.
OVW is implementing a new effort to
better measure the effectiveness of
VAWA-funded grant projects. A critical
step in that effort is to understand how
grantees evaluate their approaches to—
and identify promising practices for—
serving victims of domestic/sexual
violence and administering justice in
their cases. Therefore, the purpose of
this collection is to find out if VAWAfunded discretionary grantees have
conducted, or are currently conducting,
evaluations of their programs and what
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
the results of those evaluations were.
This information will assist OVW and
VAWA MEI in enhancing OVW’s
grantee performance monitoring system.
OVW’s current system collects a large
quantity of data, not all of which is
optimally useful for monitoring VAWAfunded projects and gauging grantees’
success. A survey to understand how
grantees themselves assess their
effectiveness will help OVW understand
which practices are showing promise in
the field, and it will help OVW
determine how performance reporting
requirements could be revised to better
capture indicators of success and reduce
reporting burden on grantees.
The affected public includes the OVW
award points-of-contact from the
approximately 2,000 VAWA-funded
discretionary grantees nationwide.
Because grantee points-of-contact are
responsible for fiscal and programmatic
oversight of how their grant dollars are
used, they typically will have
knowledge of whether their programs
have conducted any evaluations of their
programs’ implementation or the
outcomes of their programs for the
people and communities they serve. If
points-of-contact have not been directly
responsible for evaluation efforts, they
are likely to know who within their
organization may have managed
evaluations. Therefore, these points-ofcontact are a key source of information
from the field about strategies that are
showing promise for keeping victims
safe and holding offenders accountable.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond/reply: It is estimated that it will
take less than 30 minutes to complete
this one-time survey, which will ask
respondents about any efforts to
evaluate their programs, and the results
of those evaluations. The survey will be
a mix of multiple-choice and narrative
response questions.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The total hour burden of this
one-time data collection could be up to
1,000 hours. A point-of-contact from
every VAWA-funded discretionary
grantees will be invited, but not
required, to respond. ∼2000
discretionary grantees * 30-minute
completion time = 60,000 minutes, or
1,000 hours.
