Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Implementation, Systems and Outcome Evaluation of the Tribal 
and Low-Income Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG).
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) 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, ACE 
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).
