Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request
Proposed Project:
Title: Communities Empowering Youth Evaluation Study.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The information collection activity proposed under
this notice will obtain information about lead and partner
organizations funded under the Communities Empowering Youth (CEY)
program. The information collected will complement a survey (OMB No.
0970-0335) that is examining the organizational and partnership
capacity building experienced by organizations funded under the CEY
program. The proposed information collection will allow in-depth
examination of a select number of lead organizations and their
partners. Information collection will be through on-site observations
of organizations and partnerships and structured discussions with key
staff, using uniform protocols. On-site information collection will
occur three times: near the beginning, at the mid point, and at the end
of the three-year CEY grant period. Periodic telephone follow-ups may
be conducted as necessary between on-site data collection in order to
clarify or update information collected earlier and to prepare for
future site visits.
Respondents: Executive directors and key staff of faith based and
community organizations that received three-year CEY grants beginning
in 2007.
