the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions 
used; (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
to be collected; and (4) 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.

    Abstract: The Study of Implementation and Outcomes in Upward Bound 
and Other Higher Education Preparation and Support Service (HEPSS but 
more commonly referred to as TRIO) Programs will examine the 
feasibility of a promising practices study of Upward Bound that uses a 
rigorous quasi-experimental design. The design and feasibility report 
will develop a set of design options for conducting a study of Upward 
Bound and examine their applicability to studies of other TRIO 
programs. If a rigorous evaluation design proves feasible, the U.S. 
Department of Education will conduct a study of the relationship 
between promising Upward Bound implementation strategies and student 
outcomes. This submission includes the justification and plan for the 
data collection of information and statistical methods for the design 
and feasibility study. It also provides an overview of the design and 
feasibility study.
