Submission for OMB Review; Data
Collection for the Next Generation of
Enhanced Employment Strategies
Project (New Collection)

and Evaluation, Administration for
Children and Families, HHS.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Request for public comment.
The Office of Planning,
Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) within
the Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) is proposing data
collection activities conducted for the
Next Generation of Enhanced
Employment Strategies (NextGen)
Project. The objective of this project is
to identify and rigorously evaluate
innovative interventions designed to
promote employment and economic
security among low-income individuals
with complex challenges to
employment. The project will include
SUMMARY:
an experimental impact study,
descriptive study, and cost study.
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of
publication. OMB is required to make a
decision concerning the collection of
information between 30 and 60 days
after publication of this document in the
Federal Register. Therefore, a comment
is best assured of having its full effect
if OMB receives it within 30 days of
publication.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open
for Public Comments’’ or by using the
search function.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: 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 lowincome 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 employment-related 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) Program service
receipt tracking; (2) staff characteristics
survey; (3) program leadership survey;
(4) semi-structured 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.

SUMMARY: The Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) within

is to identify and rigorously evaluate innovative interventions
designed to promote employment and economic security among low-income

include an experimental impact study, descriptive study, and cost

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: 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 employment-

The NextGen Project will use a two-phased approach for approval of
this proposed information collection activity. In Phase 1 (current

to administer the informed consent form and baseline participant

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) Program service
receipt tracking; (2) staff characteristics survey; (3) program
leadership survey; (4) semi-structured 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.
