The Office of Planning,
Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) in the
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) is conducting additional
data collection activities for the Next
Generation of Enhanced Employment
Strategies Project (NextGen Project) that
provides an in-depth look at participant
experiences. This effort includes photo
elicitation methods and will be referred
to as the Well-Being Storytelling
Exhibit. The study team will use photo
elicitation and human-centered design
methods to explore how NextGen
participants, staff, and community
members conceptualize well-being. This
data will help the study team explore
the factors that may enhance or explain
impact study findings.
DATES: Comments due February 24,
2025. In compliance with the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting
public comment on the specific aspects
of the information collection described
above.
ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the
proposed collection of information and
submit comments by emailing

SUMMARY:
illustrative to provide an estimated
maximum level of burden for this
overarching generic. While we will not
exceed the total burden cap for this
generic without requesting a change for
updates, we may use more or less
burden within each instrument type.
Each individual request under the
generic will provide information
specific to the burden for that request.

employment. The project is identifying
and testing innovative employment
programs designed to help people facing
complex challenges secure economic
independence. The project is partnering
with the Social Security Administration
to incorporate a focus on employmentrelated early interventions for people
with current or foreseeable disabilities
who have limited work history and are
potential applicants for Supplemental
Security Income. Primary data
collection for the project is approved
under Office of Management and Budget
#0970–0545.
The study team is continuing primary
data collection activities; while this
request builds on those efforts, it is
specific to new data collection activities
that will create a Well-Being
Storytelling Exhibit. First, the study
team will use photo elicitation methods
with NextGen participants and staff.
Respondents will submit photos that
show how they conceptualize wellbeing across several aspects of their
lives, including economic security,
physical and mental health,
relationships, and safety. Then, the
study team will use the photos as the
basis for an interview with respondents.
During the analysis phase, the study
team will code photos and interviews
using a codebook based on the NextGen
programs’ logic models, to make it easy
to identify where participant- and staffdefined well-being overlaps (or does
not) with the program’s intended
outcomes. After photo elicitation data
collection is complete, the study team
will create an exhibit that displays

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 247 / Thursday, December 26, 2024 / Notices
photos, quotes, and findings from the
photo elicitation data collection,
alongside related findings from the
NextGen descriptive studies. The
exhibit will provide illustrative
examples of how well-being has been
influenced by program participation
according to NextGen participants and
staff. The exhibit will also include
human-centered design activities that
engage members of NextGen
communities (where programs being
evaluated for the NextGen Project were
implemented) and researchers in
descriptive study and photo elicitation
findings by collecting data on their
reflections on the exhibit. The WellBeing Storytelling Exhibit is also
intended to improve understanding and
future dissemination of study findings,
and to pilot the method and product of
a storytelling exhibit as a culturally
responsive evaluation strategy. The data
collection instruments for this project
include photo elicitation submission
forms for participants and staff, photo
elicitation interview guides for
participants and staff, and human-
centered design activities at the photo
exhibits.
Respondents: Program participants
and frontline staff enrolled in the
NextGen Project; NextGen community
members including community
partners, employers, policymakers,
funders, and NextGen participants and
staff; and human services researchers
and practitioners. All NextGen
participants will be able to opt out of
the data collection activities.
