    Proposed Project: An Assessment of the Sustainability and Impact of 
Community Coalitions Once Federal Funding Has Expired--OMB No. 0990-
NEW--Assistant Secretary Planning Evaluation (ASPE).
    Abstract: The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and 
Evaluation (ASPE) is requesting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
approval on a new collection to conduct a survey of community 
coalitions formerly funded by the Community Access Program (CAP)/
Healthy Communities Access Program (HCAP) to learn about their 
sustainability and impact post-federal funding. ASPE will use the CAP/
HCAP experience to examine the long-term sustainability of coalitions 
that successfully completed for grant funding from the Department of 
Health and Human Services (DHHS). As part of the study, a one-time, 
self-administered survey will be administered to the 260 coalitions 
funded through CAP/HCAP, providing a unique set of data to assess 
coalition sustainability and the factors that enable and hinder 
sustainability. The survey will focus on CAP/HCAP coalitions' 
structure, funding, activities, impact, and outcomes post-funding. The 
survey design and content is informed by a review of the literature on 
community coalitions including coalition organization, functions, 
impact, and sustainability. Results from the survey will also inform 
the selection of sites for key informant interviews and site visits. 
Specifically, telephone interviews will occur with a subset of 20 CAP/
HCAP coalitions that have been sustained as well as 20 CAP/HCAP 
coalitions that have not been sustained. The key informant interviews 
will utilize a structured instrument tailored to the coalitions' 
experiences. Site visits will be conducted with seven coalitions that 
were sustained post-funding. Data collection activities will be 
completed within 18 months of OMB Clearance.
