SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written comments and suggestions from the
public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of
information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of
the following four points:
--Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility;
--Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
--Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected; and
--Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Overview of this information collection:
(1) Type of Information Collection: New collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection: Campus Program Grantee Needs and
Progress Assessment Tool.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: Form Number: 1122-NEW.
U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women.
(4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: The affected public includes current grantees
under the Grants to Reduce Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating
Violence, and Stalking on Campus Program. The Campus Program
strengthens the response of institutions of higher education to the
crimes of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and
stalking on campuses and enhances collaboration among campuses, local
law enforcement, and victim advocacy organizations. Eligible applicants
are institutions of higher education. The affected public includes the
approximately 100 institutions of higher education currently funded
through the Campus program. The Grantee Needs and Progress Assessment
Tool will be used to determine the training and technical assistance
needs of Campus Program grantees--both new and continuation grantees--
throughout the life of the grant award as well measure the development
of the capacity of grantees to respond and prevent violence against
women on their campuses. In addition, the tool will help campuses and
OVW document the impact of their grant-funded work, promote
sustainability of important intervention and prevention activities, and
provide outcome-based information throughout the life of the grant to
help OVW-funded technical assistance providers and grantees make
changes to the goals and objectives necessary to achieve the statutory
intent when Congress authorized the Campus Program. There is a need for
a more effective assessment tool that better achieves the following
purposes: (1) Assess grantee needs and resources related to achieving
the program's core
[[Page 20677]]
competencies that are central to the goals of the Campus Program; (2)
assess capacity building by the grantees over the three year grant
period which will help campuses and OVW document the impact of their
work and promote sustainability, (3) provide information throughout the
grant cycle to help technical assistance providers and campuses work
together to achieve key goals of the Campus Program. This data
collection tool will promote matching the specific technical assistance
needs of each campus and also reflection by the grantees on their goals
for the grant. The questions will be given in an online survey
platform. The questions are mainly multiple choice. The few narrative
questions used are brief and require one or two sentence answers.
(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond/reply: It is
estimated that it will take the approximately 100 respondents (Campus
Program grantees) approximately 2 hours to complete an online
assessment tool.
(6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: The total annual hour burden to complete the data
collection forms is 200 hours, that is 100 grantees completing a tool
once a year with an estimated completion time for the form being 2
hours.
