Final Report 3

BACKGROUND

As described in the inaugural Biennial Evaluation, 

Performance, and Analysis Report, ACL implements 

programs and initiatives authorized through numerous 

statutes to support older Americans and Americans with 

disabilities to live independently at home with dignity and

fully participate in their communities. In keeping to the 

spirit of the 2019 Foundations for Evidence-Based 

Policymaking Act (House Resolution 4174; Evidence Act), 

ACL undertakes evaluation, performance management, 

and analytic activities to ensure that its programs are 

effective, staff are prepared, collaboration and 

coordination is occurring between the aging and disability 

networks, and emerging areas from the field and 

knowledge gaps are identified. 

ACL develops an annual plan for identifying and 

addressing policy questions that outline the agency’s 

priorities. Exhibit 1 lists ACL-wide dynamic priority 

questions intended to guide ACL’s evaluation, 

performance, and analysis activities along with a brief 

description of the aim of each priority question.

2 

In 2020, ACL contracted with RTI International to develop 

the Biennial Evaluation, Performance, and Analysis Report. 

The purpose of the report is to outline ACL’s priority

evaluation, performance management, and analytic

activities. This report provides project updates from the 

last report and summarizes select activities underway 

between October 2022 and September 2023. 

2 These six priority questions are agency-wide and come from the FY 2022 U.S. Department of Health and Human 

Services Evaluation Plan and the FY 2022 Administration for Community Living Evaluation Plan. 

Exhibit 1. ACL Priority Questions

•What is the efficacy and effectiveness 

of ACL programs and initiatives?

Priority Question 1

•What are states funded by ACL doing 

to enhance and promote aging and 

disability services and programs?

Priority Question 2

•How does ACL prepare its staff to 

better support the aging and 

disability networks?

Priority Question 3

•What are the current avenues for 

collaboration and coordination 

between the aging and disability 

networks that ACL works with? How 

can ACL encourage better 

collaboration and coordination?

Priority Question 4

•What new research and information 

are being generated, by both ACL and 

in the field, on aging and disability? 

How is ACL implementing it, and how 

can ACL better implement it?

Priority Question 5

•What are the knowledge gaps 

between ACL, research, and 

stakeholders? How can ACL close the 

knowledge gaps?

Priority Question 6

Final Report 4

METHODS

Data for this report were collected from ACL staff members across five of its eight centers. The

data collection steps are described in more detail below. 

Identify and Invite ACL Staff to Participate 

Participants in this data collection effort included ACL Office Directors and their supporting staff

who participated in the inaugural Biennial Report. RTI reached out to previous points of contact

for projects that were ongoing or completed but had next steps listed in the inaugural Biennial 

Report. Early outreach included inviting those points of contact to participate in the second 

Biennial Report’s data collection effort or to identify a colleague who could serve in that role 

and complete the data collection document. 

Concurrent to RTI’s outreach of previous ACL points of contact, Office of Performance and 

Evaluation staff reached out to select ACL Office Directors requesting their participation in the 

data collection for new evaluation, performance, and analysis projects being led by their 

Office.

3 Those Office Directors or supporting staff were provided the data collection document

to complete and submit.

Data Collection Effort

Information collected for this Biennial Report was limited to those projects underway at any 

point between October 2022 and September 2023. The projects outlined in this report are not 

exhaustive to all efforts ongoing at ACL. Data collection was conducted between April and early 

May 2023.4 RTI contacted ACL staff participating in the data collection effort with a link to the 

data collection document along with instructions on how to complete the document. A total of 

22 projects are summarized below. 

3 It should be noted that many ACL Offices are doing other forms of evaluation, performance, and analysis

activities, but the parameters established for this effort may have precluded those projects in this data call 

across the agency. For example, these parameters excluded activities primarily led by other agencies or 

organizations, such as grants. 

4 Please note: The information contained in this report is current as of May 5, 2023, when the data collection 

period closed.

Final Report 16

FINDINGS

Between October 2022 and September 2023, ACL had 22 select evaluation, 

performance, and analysis projects underway. Of those, half are scheduled to end in FY 

2023. Five ACL Centers are represented in this report. 

Findings reveal how ACL’s current activities are supporting its progress in meeting its 

priorities. More than half of projects discussed in this report addressed multiple 

priorities. Priority 1 (efficacy and effectiveness) was the most-addressed priority. Priority 

6 (knowledge gaps) was the next most common. Priorities 2 (promotion of aging and 

disability programming), 3 (staff preparation), and 5 (emerging areas from the field)

were the next most common. Priority 4 (collaboration and coordination between aging 

and disability networks) was the least represented. 

All projects included in this report involved stakeholders in some capacity. These 

stakeholders included other ACL Center and Office staff, advisory panels or committees, 

grantees, community-based organizations, contractors, and others. The most common 

ACL Center partner for activities was CPE. 

Most projects included in this report have created or plan to create interim or final 

reports. Of those, most are or will be publicly available. 

Approximately a fifth of projects included in this report did face challenges. Challenges 

included difficulties connecting with state contacts or obtaining secondary data, staff 

turnover, delays in the posting of Paperwork Reduction Act packages, and shifts in data 

collection methods or project goals. 

Multiple new projects were tied to previously completed projects. For example, the

Exploratory Study of OAA Nutrition Services During COVID-19 had concluded prior to 

this report but influenced two new projects for FY 2023: Stepwise Creation of a 

Research Agenda for AoA’s Nutrition Services Program, and the Nutrition Restaurant 

Model Project.

Final Report 17

CONCLUSION

Findings from this report provide insight into how the highlighted ACL activities support finding

answers to the agency’s priority questions. The findings also may provide a roadmap for future 

evaluation and performance activities focusing on areas where gaps may exist. For example, in 

this report and the last report, Priority 4 (collaboration and coordination between aging and 

disability networks) was significantly less represented than Priority 1 (efficacy and 

effectiveness) for the included projects. This suggests that future activities may want to include 

a focus on this priority to balance the evidence supporting all the priority areas. 

Like the inaugural report, most of the activities included in this report involved stakeholders 

and engaged the aging or disability networks, such as grantees. Across five of its eight centers, 

we identified 22 evaluation, performance, and analysis projects underway between October 

2022 and September 2023. Along with any new projects undertaken, ongoing projects at the 

end of the reporting period will be included in the FY 2024 Biennial Report. The findings from 

this and future Biennial Reports may be used to inform evaluation activities, including internal 

and external collaborations.
