are expected to respond, including the 

use of appropriate automated,

Background 

CNCS has submitted a Request for 

Proposal soliciting technical assistance 

to implement a longitudinal study of 

Senior Corps’ FGP and SCP in order to 

identify the long term impact on 

caregivers of SCP respite service and 

SCP independent living services. 

Additionally, CNCS seeks to assess the 

long term impact of participation in the 

FGP and SCP on members’ satisfaction, 

health related outcomes and psychosocial outcomes. 

This project involves a survey of: 

caregivers to individuals who are 

recipients of independent living 

services; caregivers to individuals 

receiving respite care services; and FGP 

and SCP members. Potential survey 

respondents will be drawn from a list of 

registered beneficiaries provided by a 

sample of SCP grantees. SCP and FGP 

members will be drawn from a list of 

registered members provided by a 

sample of SCP and FGP grantees. 

Potential interview respondents will 

include beneficiaries, caregivers and 

FGP/SCP members. Survey data will be 

collected using a multi-modal survey 

methods including phone surveys, 

paper surveys and on-line surveys. 

Quantitative data analysis will 

include descriptive statistics and 

inferential analysis of survey responses 

by respondent characteristics. Analyses 

will focus on identifying demographic 

factors of recipients and members, and 

on self-reported health status and 

psycho-social factors including selfefficacy, loneliness and depression.

a process of self-study, addressing the 

Commissions’s Standards for 

Accreditation. An evaluation team will 

visit the institution to gather evidence 

that the self-study is thorough and 

accurate. The team will recommend to 

the Commission a continuing status for 

the institution. Following a process 

review, the Commission itself will take 

the final action.
