To further
build the evidence around effective
strategies for helping low-income
individuals find and sustain
employment, OPRE is conducting the
NextGen Project. This project will
identify and test up to 10 innovative,
promising employment interventions
designed to help individuals facing
complex challenges secure a pathway
toward economic independence. These
challenges may be physical and mental
health conditions, a criminal history, or
limited work skills and experience. The
project is actively coordinating with the
Building Evidence on Employment
Strategies for Low-Income Families
Project (0970–0537), another OPRE
project focused on strengthening ACF’s
understanding of effective interventions
aimed at supporting low-income
individuals to find jobs, advance in the
labor market, and improve their
economic security. Additionally, the
project is working closely with the
Social Security Administration (SSA) to
incorporate a focus on employmentrelated early interventions for
individuals with current or foreseeable
disabilities who have limited work

history and are potential applicants for
Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
The NextGen Project will use a twophased approach for approval of this
proposed information collection
activity. In Phase 1 (current request) the
research team seeks approval to
formally recruit programs, to administer
the informed consent form and baseline
participant survey, and to collect
identifying and contact information for
study participants. The project intends
for these data collections to be uniform
across programs selected for evaluation
and it does not anticipate that they will
require revisions.
Under Phase 2 of the request, the
project will update the information
collection request for the remaining
instruments to tailor to each program
selected for the evaluation, as needed.
The proposed information collection
activities cover an experimental impact
study, descriptive study, and cost study.
Data collection activities for the impact
study include: (1) Baseline survey and
identifying and contact information data
collection, (2) a first follow-up survey,
and (3) a second follow-up survey. Data
collection activities for the descriptive
study include: (1) Service receipt
tracking; (2) staff characteristics survey;
(3) program leadership survey; (4) semistructured program discussion guide
(conducted with program leaders,
supervisors, partners, staff, and
providers); (5) semi-structured employer
discussion guide (for those
interventions that include an employer
component); and (6) in-depth
participant interviews. Data collection
activities for the cost study include an
Excel-based cost workbook.
Respondents: Program staff, program
partners, employer staff, and
individuals enrolled in the NextGen
Project. Program staff and partners may
include case managers, health
professionals, workshop instructors, job
developers, supervisors, managers, and
administrators. Employers may include
administrators, human resources staff,
and worksite supervisors.
