Administration for Children and Families
Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request
Title: Implementation, Systems and Outcome Evaluation of the Tribal
and Low-Income Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG).
OMB No.: New Collection.
Billing Accounting Code (BAC): 418409 (G99612l).
Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACE) is
proposing information collection activities as part of the
Implementation, Systems and Outcome Evaluation of the Health Profession
Opportunity Grants (HPOG). Through this information collection, ACF
seeks to develop comprehensive management and performance reports on
the HPOG initiative and design a feasible and reliable evaluation
design to produce accurate evidence of the effect of HPOG on
individuals and health job training programs systems.
The goals of the HPOG evaluation are to establish a performance
management reporting process for HPOG, and design an evaluation of
HPOG. Both goals require collecting information from HPOG grantees on a
regular basis. The information collection proposed is an internet-based
collection of information from HPOG grantees on (1) program
participants: baseline characteristics, program participation and
patterns, and participant outputs and outcomes; and (2) program designs
and operating characteristics. The performance management system would
collect information from grantees on their programs and participants on
a bi-annual basis.
Respondents: Participant data to be collected by program staff in
the 32 grantee organizations (higher education Institutions, workforce
investment boards, private training institutions, and tribal entities).

The Department specifically requests comments on (a) whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information; (c) the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection
