Short Statement: Over the last three years, USTDA's Office of Program Monitoring and Evaluation has continued to streamline and improve its evaluation process in order to conduct more targeted, tailored outreach to gather specific information from participants. The Office has focused its attention on higher quality assessments, using informed outreach strategies that minimize the burden on respondents. In addition, the Office has encouraged consolidated outreach and the use of information technology to reduce burden. Finally, the number of programs being evaluated has decreased over time, thus also leading to reduced overall burden. These factors have yielded a reduction in the number of individuals contacted per evaluation, as well as a reduction in the number of times each project is evaluated.
