Abstract:
The purpose of this project is to design and implement a comprehensive evaluation of the MCHB Autism CARES Act Initiative programs. The data will be used as follows: • Conduct performance monitoring of the programs. • Provide credible and rigorous evidence of program effectiveness. • Meet program needs for accountability, decision making, and quality assurance. • Strengthen the evidence base for best practices. Data collection instruments will include (1) surveys with the Research and State Systems grantees and (2) interview guides with all grantees (Research, State Systems, Training, and Resource Centers). Through the surveys, we will collect quantitative data on program activities and publications. Through the interviews, we will collect detailed qualitative data about the program activities and perceptions of successes, challenges, and barriers. The evaluation team will conduct individual or group semi-structured, in-depth interviews with the program directors and other grantee team members (if the program directors select additional team members for interviews). The data collection activities are summarized in table A.1. Information collected in the surveys will include quantitative data not included in available secondary sources. Through the interviews, the team will draw on the survey data and collect new, unique qualitative data about the programs.

Short Statement:
The overall burden has decreased since the last OMB submission. The previous data collection collected survey data (in addition to interview data) from all grantees, whereas this revised data collection will only administer surveys to the State Systems and Research grantees. For the training programs, the evaluation team will use available data from the National Information and Reporting System instead of administering surveys. The data collection also has been streamlined. In the previous OMB package, a separate quantitative data collection form for the Research grantees was used to capture standardized details related to each study and publication. The necessary information collected in that form will be captured in the survey, such as capturing standardized details about each of their studies and publications (e.g., number of studies with families as participants). These changes result in fewer burden hours estimated across the primary data collection activities.
