Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Proposed Projects: Conduct an electronic survey of 2012-funded
Family Connection grantees to collect process evaluation data to
include as part of the Cross-Site Evaluation.
Title: Cross-site Evaluation Survey 2012 Family Connection Grantees
OMB No.: 0970-NEW
Description: In the interest of providing as complete an evaluation
report as possible by the end of FY15, the Children's Bureau has
directed the contractor conducting the Cross-site Evaluation to adopt
the most efficient means possible to collect process evaluation data
from grantees. The proposed electronic survey will replace originally
planned in-person and telephone discussions with electronic surveys.
This will enable collection of key information on project design,
implementation, maintenance, and sustainability from key grantee
representatives in an abbreviated amount of time. The quantitative
nature of the surveys will enable rapid data analysis and reporting.
Respondents: The Cross-site Evaluation addresses a total of
seventeen (17) Family Connection grantees. Four categories of
participants will be surveyed: Project Leadership, Service Providers,
Project Partners (public child welfare and community agencies), and
Evaluators. For each grantee, an average of 20 respondents is
anticipated: 4 project leadership, 9 service providers, 2 public child
welfare agency representatives, 2 community partner representatives,
and 3 evaluators. These numbers of participants, per category, are used
in the table below to calculate the number of respondents, across the
17 projects to be surveyed. Differences in burden estimates for the
different instruments reflect the number of questions in each.
