Abstract:
The Next Generation of Enhanced Employment Strategies Project (NextGen Project) includes experimental impact, descriptive, and cost studies of about 10 programs. This request is for changes to first phase instruments as well as approval to use a subset of second phase instruments with programs selected for inclusion in the NextGen Project, with non-substantive changes to all but one of those instruments. As described in the initial request, we are using a two-phased approach for our information collection requests. The first phase includes instruments that will be uniform across programs selected for evaluation. The second phase includes materials that could be tailored to programs and therefore finalized after recruitment of specific programs.
