Abstract:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is proposing a data collection activity as part of the Pathways for Advancing Careers and Education (PACE) evaluation. The PACE project is an evaluation of promising programs and policies for improving employment and self-sufficiency outcomes for low-income, low-skilled adults. The PACE study is utilizing an experimental design in nine programs to assess the impact of promising interventions on education and training credential attainment, employment, earnings, and general well-being and will also include an implementation study and a cost-benefit study. PACE is one project within the broader portfolio of research that OPRE is using to assess the success of career pathways programs and models. This strategy also includes a multi-pronged research and evaluation approach for the Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG) program to better understand and assess its activities and results. In order to maximize learning across the portfolio, development of the PACE and HPOG 1.0 Impact baseline and follow up surveys is being coordinated, and the majority of the data elements collected in these surveys are similar. Four data collection efforts for HPOG 1.0 Impact have been approved under OMB clearance number 0970-0394, and a fifth (new) request is being submitted at the same time as this request. The HPOG 1.0 Impact and PACE research teams coordinated on development of the 72-month survey. This submission seeks OMB approval for one follow-up data collection instrument: a 72-Month Follow-up Survey.
