Information Collection Request Title:
Maternal Health Portfolio Evaluation
Design OMB No. 0906–0059—Revision.
Abstract: HRSA programs provide
health care to people who are
geographically isolated, economically,
or medically vulnerable. HRSA
programs help those in need of high
quality primary health care, such as
pregnant women and mothers.
Improving maternal health outcomes
and access to quality maternity care
services is a key component of the
HRSA mission. HRSA’s Maternal and
Child Health Bureau provides funding
to address some of the most urgent
issues influencing the high rates of
maternal mortality. With this emphasis
on improving maternal health across the
life course and promoting optimal
health for all mothers, HRSA is
employing a multipronged strategy to
address maternal mortality and severe
maternal morbidity through the
following programs:
1. The State Maternal Health
Innovation Program,
2. The Alliance for Innovation on
Maternal Health Program,
3. The Alliance for Innovation on
Maternal Health—Community Care
Initiative,
4. The Rural Maternity and Obstetrics
Management Strategies Program, and
5. The Supporting Maternal Health
Innovation Program.
HRSA is conducting a portfolio-wide
evaluation of HRSA-supported Maternal
Health Programs with a primary focus
PO 00000
Frm 00037
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
on reducing maternal mortality.
Through this evaluation, HRSA seeks to
identify individual and/or collective
strategies, interrelated activities, and
common themes within and across the
Maternal Health Programs that may be
contributing to or driving improvements
in key maternal health outcomes. HRSA
seeks to ascertain which components
should be elevated and replicated to the
national level, as well as inform future
investments to reduce rates of maternal
mortality and severe maternal
morbidity.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: HRSA seeks to understand
the impact of HRSA’s investments into
maternal health programs. These five
HRSA maternal health programs
represent a total of 12 state-based
grantees and three grantees with the
potential for national reach. In
understanding the strategies that are
most effective in reducing maternal
morbidity and mortality, HRSA will be
able to determine which program
elements could be replicated and/or
scaled up nationally.
Likely Respondents: Likely
respondents are recipients of the
cooperative agreements mentioned
above (State Maternal Health Innovation
Program, Alliance for Innovation on
Maternal Health Program, Alliance for
Innovation on Maternal Health—
Community Care Initiative, and
Supporting Maternal Health Innovation
Program) which include state health
agencies, national organizations, and
academic organizations.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose

Title of the Collection: ASPE Father
Generic Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Research and Assessment.
Type of Collection: Father Generic
Clearance Request.
OMB No. 0990–0421.
Abstract: The Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation
(ASPE) is requesting a renewal with
changes for their father generic
clearance for purposes of conducting
qualitative research. ASPE conducts
qualitative research to gain a better
understanding of emerging health policy
issues, develop future intramural and
extramural research projects, and to
ensure HHS leadership, agencies and
have relevant data for evidence-based
program and policy decision-making.
ASPE is requesting approval for at least
four types of qualitative research: (a)
interviews, (b) focus groups, (c)
questionnaires, and (d) other qualitative
methods.
PO 00000
Frm 00038
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
ASPE advises the Secretary of the
Department of Health and Human
Services on policy development in
health, disability, human services, data,
and science, and provides advice and
analysis on economic policy. ASPE
leads special initiatives, coordinates the
Department’s evaluation, research, and
demonstration activities, and manages
cross-Department planning activities
such as strategic planning, legislative
planning, and review of regulations.
Integral to this role, ASPE will use this
mechanism to conduct qualitative
research, evaluation, or assessment,
conduct analyses, and understand
needs, barriers, or facilitators for HHSrelated programs and services.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: ASPE is requesting
comment on the burden for qualitative
research aimed at understanding
emerging health and human services
policy issues. The goal of developing
these activities is to identify emerging
issues and research gaps to ensure the
successful implementation of HHS
programs. The participants may include
health and human services experts;
national, state, and local health or
human services representatives; public
health, human services, or healthcare
providers; representatives of other
health or human services organizations,
and people with lived experience. The
increase in burden from 2,000
respondents in 2020 to 5,000
respondents in 2023 reflects an
estimated increase in the number of
research projects and information
collections expected to be conducted
prior to the expiration of the current
generic package.
