Title: HBCU Web Survey and Case
Study Focus Group Data Collection.
OMB Number: New.
Type of Review: Regular.
Frequency: One-time web survey and
focus group data collection.
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households; Businesses and
Organizations; State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
311.
Estimated Annual Time per
Respondent (Hours): 0.73.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 225.5.

Total Annual Costs (operating/
maintaining systems or purchasing
services): The total one-time contracted
cost to the Federal Government for
survey and focus group guide
development, cognitive testing of the
survey, and data collection and analysis
is $98,672.20.
Description: This is a request for
clearance for the National Endowment
for the Arts (NEA) to conduct a web
survey of Historically Black Colleges
and Universities (HBCUs) and focus
groups across three HBCUs selected for
case studies as part of a mixed-methods
study on how HBCUs currently support
the arts and arts education as
preparatory to careers in the arts and in
transdisciplinary fields. The planned
data collection is a new information
collection request, and the data to be
collected are not available elsewhere
unless obtained through this
information collection. Both are one
time data collections.
In 2021, the HBCU Interagency
Working Group (IWG) published agency
competitiveness plans in a Federal
HBCU Competitiveness Strategy, based
on a Federal HBCU Competitiveness
Framework, thus creating a governmentwide plan to improve conditions under
which HBCUs compete for federal
opportunities.
The NEA’s HBCU Competitiveness
Plan provides a vision for the NEA’s
work with HBCUs. Outreach to HBCUs
is a distinct priority of the NEA. The
agency’s vision is that, over time, every
HBCU successfully will apply for
funding opportunities through the NEA.
To facilitate HBCU engagement with
federal and state grant opportunities in
the arts, it is desirable to understand,
within these institutions, the nature and
extent of arts and cultural assets (i.e.,
programs and facilities)—including arts
and arts education (curricular and extracurricular)—and of partnerships with
national, state, and local arts
organizations and funders. It is also
desirable to know about the role of
HBCUs’ arts and cultural assets within
the context of colleges and universities
serving as anchor institutions, how
HBCUs’ arts and cultural training is
preparing students to enter careers in
the creative economy and in
transdisciplinary fields, and what
barriers and opportunities exist in
HBCUs’ pursuit of relationships with
arts and cultural organizations and
public and private funders.
Accordingly, as part of its commitment
to supporting HBCUs, and consistent
with the IWG’s ongoing work, the NEA
